Gates was fully responsible for removing the top officers at Walter Reed hospital back during the supposed scandal. Those two might well have been able to deal with then Captain Hasan had they fully understood his involvement in the Washington Post's investigation of the matter (recall, it all focused on activities in/around the mental health outpatient operation, which is where Hasan worked).

Alas, Gates sacked the top guys, the junior officers were scared witless and gave Hasan ratings he didn't deserve, and the rest is history.

So, were you referring to Gates or to Goober? A good case can be made with either one that "they" are part of the Taliban counteroffensive on the domestic front and cannot be trusted.
