Obama v. The Generals: Should Top Brass Contradict the Commander-in-chief in Public?
Should military leaders shut up and follow orders from their Commander in Chief? Or is it patriotic to go public with doubts about his plans? (Pt. 1 of 3)
I beg to differ, An Officer should in private make his differences known. But once the Command is given, Then they must either carry out the order or resign. I notice that most Flag Grade Officers will not resign. But will offer contary views when they safely have their pensions secured & they have their book to sell. This brings no credit to the Uniform and is of no help to the Nation which really needs it in time of War.
Going public with doubts about his plans, and especially his insistence that only HE chooses the targets, that is the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteThe Generals are remembering their oath. Obama is not.
