Frankly, I have no respect for anyone who can’t abide by their oath. Nor any sympathy. The articles of the UCMJ aren’t really a secret, and someone in his position should know better. If Obama weren’t so scared of seeming as anti-military as he really is, this general would be courtmartialed and demoted.
How many here would have approved of a general who granted an interview to Rolling Stone bashing the Bush administration while we were at war? I bet the word “treason” would even have been rolled out for such an occasion.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike Obama - but if we start fostering and promoting a military that doesn’t have to follow orders, or is allowed to besmirch their commanders, or can just pick and choose what orders they can follow, where does that road lead?
zinni, shinseki and others were championed for their attacks on bush so i find it funny to watch obama have to deal with this. obviously mccrystal had to step down after that, but i love the turnabout. obama is a domestic enemy so i don’t consider it treason. the demon party are a bunch of treasonous ba—ards at the helm.
