Generals running off at the mouth

    I'm having trouble with this open discussion about our military requirements in Afghanistan and Iraq. This often has allowed release of what seems like sensitive information such as troupe strengths and manpower deployment capabilities. There are others listening that might be emboldened by some of the data.

    Military men are subordinate to the President and as such need to keep their mouths shut about such things, instead of trying to sway public opinion to their personal agendas.

    How dare a U.S. Military General tell the world he has a limit of 8,000 men available to send to Afghanistan and then only if he pulls all of his men out of Iraq. This is so much like an idiot running off at the mouth and as a top level General should, of all people, know better. I think they need to be muzzled for security breaches.
