The one on the Tet Offensive in Viet Nam was "right on" and now in "Sound Bites" FINALLY I see that I'm not alone in my views on our "Politically Correct Generals". In discussion with some friends (ex-military and others) I sometimes say " Yeah, General "S0 and So" said this or that...Well what do you expect him to say? It would seem to me that many of them personally and professionally DISAGREE with the often absurd policies and direction [read Restrictions] given them. What I mean is, if your boss [the President, Sect Defense etc] says "Pursue Course A" and you KNOW that Course B is better. These Generals are not dummies...well educated and quite capable in military knowledge and ability. Thye Know Better, but we all know what happens if you disagree with your boss....he may not be always right or choose the best method(s) but he Is The Boss. Thank You for putting this ridiculous situation in print....maybe someday our political leaders will wake up...before its too late.
