Same gassy noises emitted by different mouths.

Incidents of highly publicized and politically motivated whining by embittered generals are found throughout American history. Gen. George McClellan's attacks on Lincoln are the stuff of legend.

The problem is a lack of investigative reporting in todays media. Instead of simply reporting what the generals say, why aren't we seeing why they came out at this particular time? What is their history? For example, were they denied promotions?

Almost every issue today comes down to a he said, she said thing. But there MUST be more to this story than six guys suddenly deciding on their own to come out and attack the SecDef.

Anyone with any understanding of leadership knows it's impossible to please everyone. You will always be despised by some subordinates and loved by others. Why? Because leaders have to make tough decisions that affect each of their subordinates differently. Leaders who want to make changes make even more enemies than those who don't.
