both been told that they will be retired at lower grades if they go public.

They may be retired at a lower grade anyway, for not performing at the higher grade.

I believe military protocol requires them to remain silent until retired.
That does not mean their aides and assistants and others can't or won't talk off the record.

Drum and the Admiral have probably both been told that they will be retired at lower grades if they go public. This coming week will be the critical one.

so what?

they should resign and tell the american people the truth....

btw....i'm pretty sure they would earn millions for book deals and speaking engagements if they were to do this

what's more important here? a lousy pension or doing your patriotic duty?
