Nor from a lot of armchair military experts around here.
I suspect a lot these resident experts have little exposure to the military. Certainly Limbaugh and Hannity don’t, despite their enthusiasm for the troops, and they promote the idea that all disputes can be seen through the lens of Democrat vs Republican.
So criticisms of Rumsfeld and the Administration got dismissed as being liberal or pro-Democrat posturing. Disputes inside the military or between the uniforms and their civilian bosses have a life of their own and we’d all be better served if the public had a better grasp of this.
