I do not think that this is a PR move. I just medically retired from the military after 21 years and have an idea of what he is trying to do. Every Commander that takes over a base, squadron, unit or what have you always tries to leave a legacy behind. IMO this man is making these decision for that reason. When you come up for promotion at those levels they look at what you have achieved. In his case it will be prevented XX number of deaths on the Cumberland river by enacting said new restriction. Again this is just my opinion but it seems to follow suit with what I have seen the last 21 years.
