Bullshit. The story is obvious. Our troops see clearly the double standard. They’re breaking it off in the Commander’s ass. The situation is untenable for leadership, when you must lie, you cannot tell the truth, to your own troops. We’ve never been here before. They know it’s wrong. Trust is being eroded.
Doesn’t matter, those bastards get what they want, by hook or by crook. If the troops don’t like it, they’ll get tossed out and replaced.
