Bush should have been thrown out on his fucking ear.
His decision was no doubt one of the worst in American history, but I cannot help but think of the military leadership. In 41, von Rundstedt lost his job as commander, Army Group South, for telling Hitler to get bent. Why was it that only one general officer in our forces had the spine to resign his commission rather than carry out an illegal order?
As much as the decision was and is Shrub's responsibility I firmly believe that the military leadership showed cowardice in following such bullshit orders.
They all should have been thrown out. Every last swinging dick who bought his promotion with the blood of his own men.
