That I seriously DOUBT I would agree with a US general 90% of the time.

So how often is it that Repubs criticize a US General? Well, only if they think they can score political points and of course only when a Dem president is in charge.

But since I am against 99.9% of military actions, I really can't agree that I would DIS-agree with criticism of a US general 90% of the time PARTICULARLY since it is divorced from any true moral considerations and is just political football stuff.

So that leaves open the possibility that I would agree with the Repubs since I so strongly DISagree with Obama's use of drones and intensification of Afghan war, etc.
