"Interesting. What was the issue that led you to resign (or just Clinton as Commander in Chief in general)? Never heard of this."

There was a spike of "mid-career" officers that left under Clinton. For me personally, I was approaching the 10 year mark, it looked like Algore was going to be the next President, and I saw the encroachment of political correctness in the ranks, micromanagement reaching down to the very lowest levels, and the military being used for meals-on-wheels nation building in Haiti, Bosnia, etc. I guess the straw that broke the camel's back for me was the implementation of the CO2 (Consideration of Others) training. It predated the "Army of One" slogan by a couple years, and it seemed to me the organization was losing focus.

Same here, more or less. And looking back on it, resigning because I didn’t like the C-in-C was one of the dumbest decisions I’ve ever made.
