From: "Rich Gauszka" 

I don't disagree with that. My disagreement with Mark was the automatic
toss out of the entire story with the MSM excuse equating it to leftist
talking points.

 Perhaps the Army has changed since my day but to think  ( as many neocons
seem to do ) that grunts are automatically in lock step with the decisions
of their  officers/CIC is absurd.
