...I watched the utube version of Mullen’s testimony. To say that I came away from that experience thinking the man was lying through his teeth is an understatement. He had guilt written all over his face and his body language was equally as guilty. To think that this man was an admiral in our Navy is depressing. His arrogance in thinking intelligent men and women would believe him given all the facts we have is galling.
For me, having had the privledge back in 69-71 of working a few feet away from the Admiral of ComServGroup3 (aboard the USS Hector in the Western Pacific during the height of the Vietnam War), this new low in sleaze for one our top military men is particularly demoralizing. I was just a lowly petty officer but this Admiral treated me with the utmost respect every single day greatly elevating my respect for our officer corp and the Navy in general. I was proud to work for him. Sigh!!!...what have we come to?
I know. I used to take for granted our military could and would protect us. After Benghazi... I don’t have faith in any of the higher ups.
Just about every top Admiral or General within the top echelon are “flagpole” officers .... the kind that if you got unlucky enough to serve with you prayed for their speedy departure back to the Pentagon.
