BRIT IS HAVING ANOTHER CONNIPTION FIT

Every time some general of some service appears on TV to give a war report Brit has another conniption fit. I don’t blame him.

The reason is…the whatever general from whatever branch has on a starched, ironed, stiff-as-a-board camouflage uniform….battle dress with a sewed on combat infantry patch. Who is he trying to kid?

He isn’t out in the field with a three-week accumulation of sand, sweat and stench covering his body. He’s had a nice long shower, a hot home-cooked meal and he’s standing in an air-conditioned room in the Pentagon behind a dais, all “spit and polish” pretending he’s in the field of battle reporting back to us dumb folk. He isn’t leaving on the next plane for Iraq or North Korea.

Why do they do that?

Why doesn’t he just wear is general’s uniform that is more appropriate for the Pentagon and TV appearances?
