Just to make it clear
I have no particular problem with Hutto or the other military people expressing their views. It's the attempt to disguise their background by the media and by politicians using this group as props in press conferences.
If you want my opinion, these military people deserve a lot of credit for staying in the military despite their views, and working within the system. Marine Sgt. Madden, in particular, was anti-war before he was deployed, but went anyway, and into Anbar Province to boot. Some lizards tried to bail out of it long after they had enlisted.
