The civilians make the decisions, we military people must live by those decisions. Otherwise chain of command means nothing. When you start screwing with this concept, you present certain dangers to the system. It's OK in the chain of command to bring up concerns and voice displeasure. But these generals did not abide by this code.

This is how I saw it as a military officer. It looks like these guys are trying to get face time on CNN. And there's quite a few military flag officers that support Rumsfeld, the President, and wish to see success. General Myers is one such officer.
