[Iwo Jima]

I read about the Moorer-Radford-Haig spy affair in several books, including the Bob Woodward book and "Silent Coup." If I remember correctly, the antipathy of the military/intelligence community toward Nixon was supposed to be the underlying reason for the Watergate break-in (where several high level CIA operatives participated in a "third rate burglary") and the forced resignation of Nixon.

Admiral Moorer may have been a fine man, but he was very much a part of the military/intelligence community which put itself above and in charge of presidents and Congress time and time again.

Too bad Admiral Moorer ... and those of his ilk ... lost to the politicians. Had they succeeded in guiding events for the last 30 years, we would still have a country.
