I'm curious to see what the article actually contains. The quotes by the general himself sound damning, but I'd like to hear them in context. Either way, it doesn't look good, and yes, he should know better. Like him or not, the POTUS is still boss and should certainly not be badmouthed in the press. Wait 'til you're retired. At the same time, I'm never terribly impressed with quotes attributed to anonymous aides.
