Paralysis

"Remember that infantry LT in Afghanistan who got prosecuted for burning a couple of Taliban bodies for hygiene purposes?

Remember that tank officer who was prosecuted for administering a merciful coup de grace to a horrifically wounded insurgent?

Remember that Marine officer who was prosecuted for firing too many shots into someone who was dead set on killing him and his comrades?

Well, when you set a legal and ethical climate like that, where warriors have to be looking over their shoulders at every turn, and covering their asses against military lawyers and the commanders who let military lawyers dictate command decisions, then this is the result."

The result is the usual result from this administration, they are investigating the leak of information about an administration failure, but not the failure itself, that's top secret.
