Keep it up, media. You're doing a great job protecting us all. The New York Times jumps on the bandwagon. They don't actually understand the dangerous ground they are on, however:
No active duty officers have joined the call for Mr. Rumsfeld's resignation. In interviews, some currently serving general officers expressed discomfort with the campaign against Mr. Rumsfeld, which has been spearheaded by, among others, Gen. Anthony Zinni, who headed the United States Central Command in the late 1990's before retiring. Some of the currently serving officers said they feared the debate risked politicizing the military and undercutting its professional ethos.
Some say privately they disagree with aspects of the Bush administration's handling of the war. But many currently serving officers, regardless of their views, say respect for civilian control of the military requires that they air differences of opinion in private and stay silent in public. (emphasis added)
Do you bother to think beyond today's byline?
That would be a "no".
