It was a poor choice of words but any pol reputed as a lib/lefty is likely to have fewer allies at West Point than a hard core Rr hawk. Eisenhower was the first I know of to give the concept a prominent mention.

Glenn Beck recently wondered what gave Pres. BHO the right to think he could stand in the way of "the Generals."

The demon Stephen Colbert skewered him with the footage:

Beck & Colbert are jerks....I can assure you that "the generals" will do exactly what the POTUS tells them to do. It is their responsibility to assess the situation as they see it from a warfight position, and advise the NCA of what they find.

Colbert is far above Beck in mental acumen. He's a smart ass no doubt but quick on his feet.

The generals will do the right thing but don't count on Rr pundits and pols to know what the right thing is.

I'm not surprised that BHO would get a cooler reception at WP than Bush did. Hawkish young men are going to regard Geo. W. Bush as the coach who will put them in the game and BHO as the guy who is going to lead a discussion on whether or not this particular game should be played.

We have civilian leadership of the military in this nation for a very good reason.

Also Beck may have raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. Colbert has not. Just sayin...
