The end of a career
Lt. Col. Paul Yingling has written a sharp criticism of the Army's general officers actions or lack of them in the run up to and the execution of the fiasco in Iraq. When you begin your atack on your superiors with this quote from Frederick the Great,
"You officers amuse yourselves with God knows what buffooneries and never dream in the least of serious service. This is a source of stupidity which would become most dangerous in case of a serious conflict."you know there will be a bunch of new assholes in the Pentagon. Being a military man, he gives little credit to the civilian leadership for their role in the continuing disaster. Our Dear Embattled leader has too often shown his lack of tolerance for anyone who doesn't tell him what he wants to hear. The generals failures are real, but could they have changed anything without a military revolt against the civilian leadership?
