Reply #87: Yeah, look out for them general officers alright, can't trust a one of 'em

[Tom Rinaldo]

They are not at all like career politicians who are all innocent as new born babes and as pure as the driven snow. Those general officers are the masters of PR Spin alright. They don't need to produce real results in battles the way politicians have to deliver policy platforms to run on. If your troops lose a battle and have to abandon a position, that can easily be spun to hide what really happened, but a politician on the other hand is accountable to rigid standards of truth. No way on earth they can spin abandoning one position for another, yeah you got that right. Straight shooters those career pols, every one of them. That's because most of them graduated from Law Schools where they were taught ethics. Either that or they got fabulously wealthy in business before moving into politics, and we all know that no one gets fabulously wealthy in business in America who doesn't always level with the American public.
