He spoke his conscience, and for that I give him lots of credit.
He also disparaged the superior officers making these decisions, and for that severe indiscretion, he was relieved of duty. He actually expected it and said that if he were in the chain of command he would have done the same.

Yeah, we can't have that. If you want to speak your mind without restriction, don't go in the military. Hierarchy has to work.
And Billy Mitchell paid, too.

The comments are so surreal. I haven't been following the liberal coverage here, are they saying he's crazy? Is that actually the game?
