Generals using PsyOps on Senators - No One Seems to Care...

 Does the U.S. Military engage in the blatantly illegal act of propagandizing our own citizenry based solely on the whims of senior brass? According to an Army whistle-blower they do, and seriously if you think this is the first time this has happened, you're fucking delusional. Army Lt. Colonel Michael Holmes told reporters that he was reprimanded for refusing to comply with the illegal orders given by his superior General William Caldwell.

This is one of the many examples of why our military is suppose to be under strict civilian control. The job of our military is not to make foreign policy decisions. Generals do not get to decide which war to fight or for how long. If that were the case we would still be fighting in Vietnam, after all we were just a couple of battles and a few hundred thousand causalities shy of a glorious Pyrrhic victory there.

The American public should be outraged by this news and demand that this general be held to account. Unfortunately that would take some small modicum of interest on the part of the American public in our ongoing actions in Afghanistan. But since the majority of Americans are doing nothing more than sitting on their couch anxiously awaiting an appearance by also-ran Christine O'Donnell on this season's Dancing with the Stars, I don't see that happening anytime soon...
