The General is the agent of the Administration and is following orders.

That is the way we did it in Vietnam.

But stupid can not learn from past mistakes.

Well God Bless you and thank you for your service. Were you Army? I can’t imagine your being hobbled like this. It’s beyond insane. Desk-bound bureaucrats and politically-correct pencil-necks who’ve never been where the rubber meets the road and they presume to tell a soldier how and when he/she can fight. Amazing.
