[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2053125, member: 42"] It wasn't decency, it was "resign or get fired". He may have been talented, and I was one of his supporters, but he has pissed that away by staking his flag with the other camp. His political opinions ARE worth more than yours or mine because he can go on national media programs and get attention. We can't. In the military, there is a thing called Information Operations. [I]They[/I] can win the IO battle if we don't stop dismissing people like this...."oh, he's just a retired General, his opinion doesn't matter". That's what you say, but some fence-sitting soccer mom says "Oh look, even this well-spoken military man, who got fired by Obama, thinks we should ban these guns." That changes more minds than us dismissing the good General. His points must be answered and countered. [/QUOTE]
