Yes, it speaks volumes. Guys like you could not rise to the top, so you blame "mean people" for keeping you from obtaining your deserved 3rd or 4th star.
Actually, the general is right is does speak volumes that guys like him are speaking out. It shows they lack the integrity and honor by giving aid to our enemies during time of war. Their words will be used as propaganda. By their lack of understanding this or by them doing this knowing their words will be used, shows how thankful we should be that they are no longer leading our troops during this war of civilizations.
