"As a retired South Carolina National Guard colonel, he should have known better. It's disrespectful to our commander in chief in a setting where the world was watching," Miller, who runs on online military memorabilia business, said from his home in Beaufort. "It was childish." His district is also home to some of the state's largest military installations: the Army's Fort Jackson outside Columbia, and two major Marine Corps facilities - Parris Island Training Depot and the Marine Corps Air Station - both near Beaufort. At least three members of Wilson's voluntary, minority advisory committee said they resigned Thursday. "I didn't personally want to be associated with that sort of inappropriateness toward the president of the United States of America," said J.T. McLawhorn, executive director of the Columbia Urban League, who's served on the group since Wilson formed it a decade ago. "It's just a sad day for us in South Carolina," McLawhorn said. "The perception to people outside of South Carolina is that we just live in a negative environment here." Wilson is known in Congress for giving one-minute speeches when the floor is open for short statements on any topic, but he has been confrontational in the past.
