Lt. Col. Daniel L. Davis last month after
sharing his view on the Afghan war with some
members of Congress.
“You can't spin the fact that more men are getting blown up every year,” he said.

I know him. Please pray.

I see the fatally flawed ER system is still in use. This guy won’t go above full bird Colonel. if that.

Ask David Hackworth what speaking truth to the perfumed princes in the Pentagon will do. Oh wait, he’s dead. Never mind.

[ImpBill]

Oh, to be sure, LTC. Davis will be dealt with by the brass. But it will be subtle. I hope he will not let up on his criticism. We need to get our troops out of there soon. If the rumors are true that the Administration is working towards talks with the Taliban ... well lets just say it reminds me of another war where we were still in combat against an enemy we were "negotiating with" and that didn't end so well either.

My hat is off to the LTC. And yes prayers for him as well.

Yeah, I know him too. Sounds like you’re at MBC.

I too think Danny has followed the rules well enough—nor has he said anything very new or revealing such that the army would feel compelled to do anything formal against him.

Rather what will happen will be that he won’t be given anything to do. Most of the people that talk to him — will talk less and associate with him less.

He’s set to retire in any case in three years. So he’ll have plenty of time on his hands in the next couple years to prepare for his next career.

The horrible part is that the same thing went on in Vietnam. I saw instances of battles where we had our heads handed to us reported up the chain of command as victories. It's evident we've learned nothing in 40 years.

Incredible. If these top brass would have been around during the Battle of the Little Big Horn it would have been reported that Custer conquered the west.
