The military owes its duty to the Commander-in-Chief and should keep its discussions internal. I extend that (IMO) to retired military folks. I had a problem when they argued with Clinton, and I have a problem when the Administration presents military commanders to the press. Again, they need to STFU and be kept out of the greater discussion. There is an internal chain of command for discussion, and that should be it.

Folks loved MacArthur...but he created a phuked up situation in Korea by taking issue with the Administration, which must take into account the political as well as the strategic factors in any conflict. If you would prefer the Hollywood version rather than real history...7 Days in May.
