Oopps, looks like O's hand picked general succumbed to a common ailment to those that do business in high levels in DC - foot in mouth disease.

He broke one of the primary rules of military etiquette - you don't badmouth your boss, civilian or military, in public. If you feel things are really that screwed up, first talk to the boss in private and respectfully voice your concerns. If nothing happens after that, you have two choices - either shut up and get on with your job the best you can, or put your money where your mouth and morals are - resign your command and/or commission, then publicly voice your concerns.

Regardless of whether he has valid concerns or not, he screwed up by shooting off his mouth at the wrong time in the wrong place to the wrong people. Won't be surprised if he does get canned.
