  “Where all the facts are out of sight a true report and a plausible error read alike, sound alike, feel alike.

  If you’re part of the privileged classes, money does come out of thin air.

  If you’re part of the chump classes, (like most of us here), you and I pay.

  “As the departure for the Persian Gulf nears, Kerska reminds himself of one of his favorite sayings: ‘A leader’s job is to protect a soldier from himself.’”

  Good advice, Colonel.

  Here’s more, from a Republican vet and fellow officer.
