You probably should think that through a little more carefully before using such inflammatory rhetoric.
“btw, in no way did Petraeus “deride the Constitution”....by direct statement, nor by inference.”
While I agree with your, “different place, different time” attitude, and appreciate it after my posting screw-up, (are the lessons still available?:-)), I think a military General singling out any American citizens actions, especially legal actions, before the world, and acting like he has any right to tell him what to do, and how he should conduct his political protest, does not reflect our Constitutional freedoms at best, at a time when they need to be seen and understood clearly, worldwide.
There is a choice to be made, and, as Michigan shows, it is coming faster and faster. The challenges to our sovereignty and freedoms has never been more deep, nor as damnably obvious.
PR should come fron the State Dept., not a field General, standing up for our country’s ideals and freedoms strengths before the world.
I wish and hope you and yours happiness, and above all, safety on their way home.
Be well, and stay on my back, I appreciate it.
