Talk about attacking our generals



While reflecting on the rightwing "outrage" at the MoveOn.org ad
attacking General Petreaus, I ran across this outrageous attack on the
integrity of our military leaders:

-- quote --

Our generals are betraying our soldiers . . . again

Our generals in both the Army and Marine Corps have cared more about
their precious careers and reputations than their soldiers and Marines
under them. The Marines have actually prosecuted a Marine for shooting
a terrorist too many times . . . . In Iraq, the story is the same. The
Army rediscovered a trick we used in 'Nam' called "baiting," where you
leave ammunition and pieces of explosive devices out and shoot whoever
takes them. We used to leave exploding ammo to put in your AK - when
you try to fire it, the gun blows up. It worked then and it works
now . . . but guess what the Army is now putting on trial: Ranger
Snipers for doing their jobs. The rules of engagement were once again
being followed and once again our generals put their careers over
their men's lives. The chilling effect that these actions have over
our soldiers is dramatic; this distrust weakens the very foundations
of our military. It causes soldiers to second-guess themselves and
their chain of command. We cannot fight like this and hope to win.

HOLY ***!!! Must be MoveOn.org on the loose again.

Then I looked more closely and discovered this attack on our military
leaders is coming from -- FOX.

How about a Congressional resolution denouncing Fox??
