Niether you nor Hodja seem to get my point.  I give credence to them for speaking out......but not for being a confidential source for critical books or providing aid and comfort to the enemy.   And to me having a tough boss is the worst excuse of all for this behavior......treating them like whiney babies is hardly a compliment or a useful argument.

But I do give you credit.  I thought his litmus test was bad but you raised it to a whole other level.  So now only former Joint Chief's of Staff or SecDef's can have an opinion about someone in that role. Wow!  Only probably a half dozen or so living people in the entire country can have an opinion about Milley, et al.  Of course that also renders your and Hodja's opinion invalid as well.  Welcome to the party.

And no, yours and his opinion will never change mine nor the many former military officers who see this the way I do.  But you are wrong that I never change mine....completely wrong.  When I have facts that are at odds with my opinion I change it.  For example, I used to preach social distancing but the science now tells us it is not effective.
