I'm retired USMC. On active duty, the generals can't be ignored, whether or not they are a loose cannon. In retirement, like ex-Presidents, the advice generals give should be given in private. Overt, partisan involvement in politics only serves to diminish the reputation they earned on active duty. If they choose to go public, they deserve the same fate as ex-presidents that overstay their welcome on the public stage: diminished esteem, irrelevance, and obscurity. Courtmarshalling them would provide the stage they seek. They are being ignored which, IMHO, is the proper handling of the matter.
Oh I agree with you totally. I mean taken to its logical end these articles could apply to the his former Royal Highness himself General Clark when he ran for President or even people like Gen Powell and Gen Franks when they enter the political arena.
You are one of those!!!!
