MoveOn.org was not the first to suspect "Betray-us" was a name that may be a more appropriate title for him. I coined that title as soon as he was appointed. I based it on the fact that:

1. He went from a two star to a four star general in a very short time.

2. He was preceded by several high-ranking military Bush appointees, who were nothing but incompetent yes men, starting with Tommy Franks, then Myers, Casey, Sanchez, Pace, etc. I consider them political whores. Anyone who refused to say yes to Bush's demands was fired, or resigned rather than be a part of this administration's insanity.

I learned three things in my 37 years in the military (I retired as a major and wear Master Army Aviator wings:)

1. I learned that one thing they do well is brainwash their personnel. They are convincing our gullible, naive young soldiers that they are fighting for freedom and democracy. Actually, they are getting killed and maimed for globalist, neo-con, corpocracy, which is using our military (and CIA, WTO, NAFTA) as tools to further their globalist agenda to rape "Third World" economies and resources.

2. I learned that promotions at the higher ranks are almost entirely based on politics.

3. I learned to recognize real leadership. I've seen very good, very bad and everything in between. I would not follow any of the above mentioned generals across the street, and especially not their commander-in-chief, who can't learn to pronounce "nuclear."

When I hear politicians and news media say what a respected and capable military leader Betray-us is, I want to vomit. He is a political whore how sold his honor, credibility and morals by lying for this corrupt administration. In so doing, he is promoting more death, destruction, suffering and bankruptcy of our country. We do not need military "leaders" who "serve" our country in that fashion. They are traitors!
