You are right, it came across wrong. Please except my apoligies.

I apologize, too. I admit I got a bit huffy about it, but I probably should have left my uncle out of it to begin with. I also neglected to say that I agree with you that any soldier should do his or her utmost to correct problems; I think the only point where we disagree is over the public nature of the recent criticism. I think (just my opinion) that in coming before the public, they
made the issue political, whereas had they not, it would have been - as you very rightly say - entirely a question of duty:

Absolutely; I just meant that IMO it should be done within the chain of command - but to me that's not the same thing as the "I was just following orders" cop-out. I hear where you're coming from; I'm not a fan of Rumsfeld either.
No hard feelings here.
