#2 $500m for training a handful of rebels.

$450m for the release of a few hostages.

Probably just a coincidence.

#3 So, at what grade does a military officer begin their transition to a lapdog? I'm thinin' maybe O-5-ish?

Lapdog? Clearly at O-6. It is so bad that when I worked for a three star...the GO, who knew that I was trained in detection of deception, would direct me watch the briefs and review reports looking for deception from the briefer - when it was obvious (hiding bad news...) the GO would then dispatch the CSM to rough up the NCOs in order to get the truth.

In Austin's case false statement are deliberate lies...dangerous lies. Either that or he is stupid...probably a little bit of both going on.

#5 Some folks should be forced into retirement without pension. If they complain about it paperwork for high crimes and misdemeanors can be drafted. They should provide honest assessments, keep them as secret as possible but cooking the evidence is unacceptable.

#6 Well, no wonder our POTUS seemed so clueless! His military told him what he wanted to hear!

#7 Mr. Obama was told what he wanted to hear. Empire politics are like that.
