Then that means that Gen Fuller sacrificed 2 stars and a choice assignment to send America a message. He fell on his sword, in all likelihood, so that we would know the truth of the leadership in Afghanistan. It would be nice to have full text of his remarks.

When the generals speak bluntly, then we are being told American lives are too precious to any longer sacrifice for this stooge named Karzai.

In to-days army, what happened to MacArthur. What is that statement about not knowing history and repeating it.

It has always been so, but that doesn’t mean the general is wrong, and he was very brave for speaking out. He probably knew that statement was a career-ender, but he put country above international political games.

Especially when we have a POTUS who freaks out if you even mention his ears. The ego of The One is more precious than American lives.
