How small are our military leaders?

Very. How childish and petty? Very. How uncaring in supporting our soldiers? Very. How incompetent and wasting of lives and money while not paying attention to the basics of war? Very.

David Hackworth died and the Pentagon snubbed his funeral. They snubbed the most decorated, the most accomplished officer and the youngest full colonel of Vietnam. Why? Because he told the truth about our US military and about wars. Because he cared about soldiers and tried to avoid useless deaths. Because our military leaders - our generals and admirals - are a bunch of incompetent bureaucrats who are skilled only at covering their own asses.

A true American hero died. We should honor him. Instead the Bush administration pretends he didn't exist. The emptiness of Bush and his generals and their lack of respect for soldiers is again shown. They dishonor our country. They show how small, petty and unpatriotic they really are.
