3. War Pigs is right

Given his past, I'm absolutely shocked at some of the things Hagel has done/said. I would have thought a combat hardened Infantryman would have a different stance on war.

However, I wonder how much of it is his decisions versus decisions made by those above him. My experience as a junior leader in the military taught me that there is a time to voice your objections to your superiors, but after your superiors listen to your concerns and make a decision contrary to what you think you suck it up and drive on and do the best you can. You make orders and decisions that you don't even agree with your own and don't say stuff like "Captain so and so wants us to _____". It becomes "I want us to_____".
