SPF2445,

If you're suggesting that military officers should be allowed to say things that inflame a portion of American society and our enemies provided they believe that what they are saying is true, then I disagree. Historically and correctly, in my opinion, the military exists to protect civil society, not participate in the public debate. ... Using a sports metaphor, during the week before the big game the coach doesn't want one of his players to say something to the media that will mostly be used to motivate the players on the other team.
