Honore has some impressive credentials, and I think everyone should cut him some slack.

In a city where police and soldiers are being shot at by what can only be called primitives, it doesn't take any courage to tell troops to put down their weapons and humiliate them on national television. That is the action of a PR General playing to the cameras.

What's more, his profanity reveals his lack of character, especially on display like that for public consumption.

Generals shouldn't be on the front line, by the way. They should be planning, using their minds. This guy doesn't have one.

There may be distinctions that one can draw when on the ground, that we can't sitting in front of our PCs. Honore has a good record, and I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until the facts warrant otherwise.

Yeah, I have to admit that profanity in the armed forces is a new one on me. < /sarcasm >
