What gives you the idea that he won’t let the troops do their job?
Just what does the expression of 1st amendment freedoms in the USA have to do with General Patraeus. Pretty soon he’ll be just like nobama...a community organizer that someone is calling a dog. Just when did he become a social worker?????
Misspoke.
He needs to worry about letting our boys do their jobs - not about how we exercise our rights. His job is to kill our enemy. Not weigh in on how we exercise our constitutional rights.
