<<Everything I've heard has indicated that the military advisors have known from the get-go that this adventure was ill-conceived. Wouldn't it be refreshing to see a military person resign his position rather than be a part of this debacle. But nope, they've got their orders>>

Would you rather live in a country where military authority was not totally subservient to the civil authority? Yep, they have their orders. And Im damned glad that our high command has never gotten it into their heads that they can decide when and on what terms to obey elected representatives.
