Did Gen John Allen (USMC) get up and apologize again? What a jackass — especially the way he pronounces “Qur’an” and “Afghanistan” with his ersatz Arabic and/or Dari accent.
No defense of his troops. Only a groveling apology. Note: I would argue that the Marines (at their top levels of leadership) — like their Navy brothers — are even more politically correct than the Army leaders these days.
If I am Gingrich, and I am elected, Gen Allen is retiring 10 minutes after I am sworn in, along with his limp-wristed, USMC commandant, Gen Jim Amos — and a host of other weak, compromised generals and admirals.
Allen, Amos, Jones, all USMC and Casey, USA; the number of politically correct general officers is growing. These people would have no problem with turning the US armed forces on US citizens if political leaders would order them to do so.
