Amos vs. his own generals?


Everyone knows that I'm a critic of Amos.

What I didn't know (but I'm pleased to learn) is that several Marine Generals seem to still have their sense of right and wrong intact.  They also appear to have the best interests of their Marines as part of their makeup.  Read this Marine Corps times story here, but (this is all about the Marine Major that passed info along to a unit that a threat to their unit existed...he's might be punished for how he informed that unit) this tidbit is too juicy.
“I fear that some momentum has built to pillory this officer for ill-considered execution of otherwise WORTHY and honorable intent. His performance in Now Zad during our deployment was stellar,” Kennedy wrote, referring to a particularly challenging district in Helmand province. “Am afraid he has been scapegoated by non-Helmand tested staff officers.”
There is a battle happening behind the scenes between those that would shape the future of the Corps.  Lets wish the Generals that are in the mold of Chesty well.
