"All I can tell you is that Senator Kerrey really burned my britches today," said an officer at the Pentagon. "Like it's a soldier's fault he can't find a U.S. Post Office in Kosovo or a sailor can't find one on a submarine? Our fault the things weren't postmarked? Have they no shame?" Moreover, other military people are not happy with Defense Secretary William S. Cohen's near-silence on the issue. "This battle will be won or lost by public opinion," said retired Rear Adm. Riley Mixon, in a faxed letter to Mr. Cohen. "As of today, I have not heard a peep out of your office. Why? I would have expected you personally to be on the national networks using your 'bully pulpit' to get those votes counted," said Adm. Mixon, former director of naval air warfare. "Your allegiance to the soldiers, sailors and airmen that you oversee should take precedence over politics. I urge you to make yourself visible to the nation in support of your troops." washtimes.com
