With all the bloodletting at the top of the U.S. military, it’s becoming clear why our Secretary of War is firing our top generals and admirals: they refuse to follow orders that are tantamount to war crimes, especially crimes are bound to result in the deaths of American soldiers.

Yes, this man sounded the alarm as he stepped down, but I find this anticlimactic.

I was hoping for something with the drama of “Mutiny on the Bounty,” where Fletcher Christian tells Captain Bligh, “You’ve given your last order on this ship!” while thrusting his sword through the bastard’s left tricep.

Another thing that makes this less than satisfying is the sad fact that men of integrity who have spent decades of their lives honorably defending our nation will be replaced by spineless wimps who will carry out these illegal orders.

Generals and Admirals Are Leaving, But Not Quietly
