I thought Gen. Carter Ham was relieved of duty because he ignored the “Stand Down” order. What kind of crap must the NSA/IRS/DHS/PRISM programs have on HIM, to have him spewing out psychobabble crap like THIS?! It’s such a horrendous shame that these generals can’t control their own genitals, so that when SHTF time comes, and they attempt to stand up to corrupt scum such as is currently running the Country, their former misconduct is thrown in their face, and they fold up like a cheap umbrella.....and start parroting mealy-mouthed drivel such as THAT, to keep their job and their precious pension.
I believe that yours is an accurate statement .
Coercion is a powerfull political and financial tool.
I have heard it said that rank of Captain and below is based on ability ;
above the Captain rank,it is more political , and based on ability to secure lucrative contracts .
