This is an older article, but it's relevance in the current state of world tensions and the ever present threat from ISIS, couldn't be more poignant.

I doubt there is a Gen. James Mattoon Scott among them.
I think that Babylon 5 depicted "obey the chain of command" very well. Most officers who were promoted during war ('conflict') are adept at this.

and secondly to the orders from above. this is being
translated to that of the German military,, quoted here:::
from 2 August 1934 - "I swear by God this sacred oath
that I shall render unconditional obedience to Adolf Hitler,
the Führer of the German Reich, supreme commander
of the armed forces, and that I shall at all times be prepared,
as a brave soldier, to give my life for this oath." -- [See

this is turning into pure fascism. -- j
we're being asked to be "politically correct" as the
Führer's subjects were asked -- or else. this must
be reversed;;; yes?! -- j
We need someone with respect for our military to get in there and fix this. Stop treating those who serve like a social project. Can we hold our breathe for two years?
Elections are our saving grace.
And he should.

I am pleased that the LE folks objected to this program as well as the citizenry. I do wish that a finger had been pointed at specifically 'who' had commissioned the 'non-traditional targets'.
Jan
I am still heartened by the outcry against this from both LE and civilians.
Jan, glass half full
will the congress wake up if it is a repulican majority?????????????????????????
It will not in the next hundred either.
(Or if you meant repulican, please explain.;^)
and i agree with you it will not make a difference this time around.
because of my heritage-patriotic views. LC was it.
political begins at "O-6" or colonel. -- j
And it's shameful that those reasons would be a factor in promotions. What a disservice to the military.
It was also called "The Winter War" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War
Followed by the "Continuation war" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuatio...
I say pull out, and let all three factions of bad guys kill each other in droves.
I also say let's break our military commitments to Qatar (for arming Hamas) and to Turkey (both for anti-Israel actions such as the Gaza flotilla and for taking the Russian side in Russia's wars of aggression against Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine). Do it now, before we get dragged onto the wrong side of a war with Israel!
