Doesn't surprise me since Obama has steadily purged our military of most of the right leaning command officers.
Since Obama took office an unprecedented number of top military leaders have been removed from their posts – nearly 200 generals, flag officers and other high-ranking officials. They are being “removed” at a rate of about one per week.
Allen West, who served on the House Armed Services Committee, is calling for hearings “to determine exactly why” so many officers, especially senior officers, are being given the boot.
Sadly, it seems the greatest force our military is facing is not that of the foreign enemy but the enemy within?the one in the White House that is actively purging our military.
One top military official, Ret. Army Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely has been very outspoken on what he calls a “purge” of the U.S. military by the Obama administration – a stunning nine generals and flag officers relieved of duty this year alone.
This stuff is real.

In 2005, the Pentagon changed the speech to remove all references to the divine, substituting additional historical facts such as Neil Armstrong’s planting of an American flag on the moon in 1969. But many service members prefer the traditional speech and desire that version given at their own retirement celebrations

I'm guessing this is the same video. There is more to the story. See the link below.
A retired Senior Master Sergeant who was forcibly removed during a flag-folding ceremony is giving the US Air Force an ultimatum: apologize and punish those responsible or face a federal civil-rights lawsuit. SMSgt (R) Oscar Rodriguez -who was known for his moving delivery “flag-folding speech” during folding ceremonies is collaborating with lawyers from the First […]

This is old news. It came out that he used that as a way to get more attention out of the story. It worked, you clicked on the article because of it.
