Maybe he was miffed at the way the politicians are so eager to throw soldiers under the bus when it may serve their interests.Generals also.Maybe the new breed of thinking may spice things up a little.Generals,I believe are promoted by the politicians.So suck up is a requirement for the stars.But he still should have kept his mouth shut.Pissing off higher ups was never a good promotion move.
