He gets way more attention this way. I think the war is at a turning point and this guy is immensely frustrated that if it goes negative it will reflect on him when he knows the real problem is that he's getting no support from DC.
I suspect that he was cornered by Biden into implementing the rules of engagement as some kind of quid pro quo for getting the troops he wanted. Bad situation for a general to be in.
You guys all make a good point- if he resigned first would we be talking about it? Maybe- maybe not. But then why apologize?
Still- the example this sets for the enlisted man and the officer corps is very poor. The civilian world does not operate the same way as the military- what he’s done is a serious violation. It’s about a principle- and a RULE, regardless of the personalities involved.
