Why are U.S. military officers publishing criticisms about their country and their Commander in Chief in a newspaper? In a foreign country?
Who are these "former" military leaders?
How long have they been "former"?
What did they accomplish while serving?
Were they dismissed or prematurely retired?
Where did they serve?
What do their former subordinates think of them?
What do the ground troops they were involved with think of them?
Why should I take their opinion as worth more than the alcohol-addled senile ranting of other "retired" military leaders whose names, mercifully, I can't recall?
Just as a for instance, I spent some time in a European country in the 90's where a General, who subsequently distinguished himself in the Pentagon as a total idiot, was referred to by the American troops under him as General "McDork"...
Why do I have a feeling that these three distinguised losers are similarly esteemed by their troops.
