How many times have you chosen to sabotage your career to live up to your standards?

I wasn't aware, certainly, that refusing to swap spit with the comrades over at the CDI translated so readily into "sabotaging his career."

Of course: this begs the question, ultimately, as to which master(s) -- foreign or domestic -- said career was in service of, doesn't it...?

I of course was not referring to that but to his following the Commander in Chiefs orders as head of CENTCOM. Lobbing the cruise missles rather than refusing to do so.
