I’m saying he should not have wrote a book. And if you do chose to write a book you have to expect consequences. I have a deep respect for the military. and I personally believe our military should be held to a higher standard. Not cashing in by writing a book.

What cashing in? All of his earnings are going to Wounded Warrior or some other military related charity. He did this to expose the truth, probably with the blessing of fellow soldiers.

Well, not until a couple or so decades had passed and what is written can no longer have an adverse consequence in the present. We’d be poorer for not having the memoirs of veterans of long-ago wars recording their experiences for posterity...

Had he not written the book, we would not know what really happened.

We need to end the veil of secrecy; it serves no legitimate purpose. Only the identities of the men should be secret.

Our government never tells us the truth.
