Hersh's source(s) are officers promoted by Clinton.

That's the only reason that an officer would confide anything in a snake like Hersh.

The result here is a portion of truth with a strong politically-motivated defeatist spin.

This is very dangerous.

Bush has alot of weeding-out to do in the military.

It had better get done quickly.

Exactly -- you nailed it!

From salon.com, here is an excerpt from Salon's "Brillant Careers" section. This excerpt was about Hersh who I also believe uses "a portion of truth with a strong politically-motivated defeatist spin".

...So Hersh quit, and at columnist Mary McGrory's behest, went to work for Eugene McCarthy's presidential campaign, convinced that the senator was the country's best bet to end the Vietnam War...

What a bunch of chickensh**s. You peoploe want to hide the truth about some of our guys taking a bit of action and getting scared, and you think you are ready to fight a war??!!

If you are too scared to want to hear both sides of any story, you don't deserve your freedom. If you want to hide any unpleasant facts you have no faith in your fellow Americans.

Wake up you bunch of ostriches.

Please daddy government, only tell me good stories, I don't want to be scared boo hoo
