I think most ordinary citizens know that warriors like war, even though they know they shouldn't.

"Magnificent! Compared to war all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. Gold help me, I do love it so!"
- General George Patton

"It is well that war is so terrible, else we should grow too fond of it."
- General Robert E. Lee

There is a subcategory of "ordinary citizens" who believe that if you don't let boys play with guns, the fighting instinct will disappear. Perhaps you are one?

the tone that general used was inappropriate for public consumption

I thought it was very appropriate. I was delighted to read it. General Schoonover is the COS of the Army, and a damned good fighting man. He is not one of the normal Bureaucrats that infest the Pentagon.

He is saying that fighting the war has improved our Military. Very glad to hear it.
