All this whining and trying to CYA is not a model of a very modern general.

So this is what our modern military has come to; freakin' Patton's gotta be spinning in his grave.

i recently read a bio of gen. patton. apparently, quite a few american soldiers who fought in WWII were not too thrilled by some of his antics.
americans don't like to fight dirty wars. it only takes a few real atrocities, and americans stop supporting a war.
(by real atrocities, i don't mean the stuff that has come out in the pics, i mean prisoners being killed during interrogations, etc., which may have already happened in afghanistan.)
when we fail to win a war, it is because the american public stops supporting it.
