Admiral William Fallon

As an outspoken military family member who has unique and strong opinions, I regret the resignation of Adm. William Fallon. Despite the recent downturn in violence in Iraq, I don’t see how anyone could say that the rest of the way will be a cakewalk, and Afghanistan is far from a conclusion, as well. I don’t consider his comments to be that contentious. It was fear and blind patriotism that got us to this place and a man who has served his country with such honor and distinction should not feel pressured or compelled to resign for speaking his mind.
