As it is said...."The Truth shall set you free.".
Although I admire the guy's grit....making himself another martyr shall not change things one small bit.
He is a Leader....and not just a Commander....and sadly there are far too few like him in the Senior Ranks of the Military.
We are seeing today something very similar to the Vietnam years when the Joint Chiefs and senior Combatant Command positions do not offer their Resignations upon being given incredibly stupid orders or see bone headed decisions that defy reality.
Sadly, ours is not the only Military suffering from this kind of environment today.
You did see where Admiral Mullen.....who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs recently admitted publicly of having been wrong about his decisions on Afghanistan Strategies for years.
Sadly, he did not go into detail on how it happened he and so many other Senior Commanders and National Security Officials got it so wrong for so long.
