Travelling brains

Where are those people? Thinking. Peculiar.

Head honcho soldier Hillier complained about the Liberal record regarding the military. This despite the fact they were the ones who assigned him the top job.

Hillier is the same general who went for a field visit about. This event is documented by embedded reporters. A roadside bomb went off a few yards ahead of his personal column. Instantly he abruptly turned tail and headed directly for Ottawa. And didn't stop until he got behind his nice safe desk.

He's like the dog who bravely barks knowing that his master and the rest of the pack is dealing with the threat. The instant the threat looks at him, he hides in his master's legs.

I will not call him a coward although I may believe him to be.

No general worthy of the rank would ever want to put his troops, in this case Canadian troops into such an untenable situation as they find themselves. He's a soldier who knows nothing about the art of war. Any smart leading commander would have fought tooth and nail to avoid the situation in Afghanistan. He's the Andrew McNaughton of this generation.

This country and the armed services need a new Harry Crerar.
