How about the guy recognizes we are fighting a useless, illegal war and is trying to preserve young men's lives...? Anyone consider that option?
This was a calculated decision by the General.
This 'humanizes' him to the general public. He will make a formidable opponent for the Democrat Party in 2012.
I guess that would all depend on what opinion the military has of the CURRENT CinC!

And I can't imagine a general who publicly denigrates his Commander-in-Chief in a time of war, violating the Military Code of Justice would have any trouble getting respect from the military once he becomes CINC.
Of course, you can refuse to obey unlawful orders - torture and other war crimes. But objecting to a specific war when other wars are OK is ridiculous.

I saw this story on my local news earlier today and i heard them say that he may lose his job over this?
Im pretty sure that is still legal to say what you want in this country, but honestly who would know beter about a flawed admin. than a high ranking general?
Its not like an E2 said these things i believe this man knows what hes talking about and it gets under the admins skin when they hear the truth

No, we entered these conflicts based on the best military intelligence available, which the Congress upheld when voting to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
We entered Iraq because Iraq had a proven history of hostility and threats toward America, ........
Yes, Iraq was a threat to the USA, to our interests in the Middle East (namely Israel), and to stability in the region. The Iraqi people CHEERED when Saddam finally did his little dance at the end of a rope.— Doc Velocity
