Purge, or just CYA?..

C'mon guys. Those Admirals and Generals were just betting on the next Kentucky Derby, conducting a pool in all innocence. That's not Seven Days in May, is it? Hmmm, should we check to see if EComCon set up on Mt Weather? Besides, if there is going to be a military coup in this country, it's gonna stem from the Chiefs and Sargeants not the Admirals and Generals who are part of the problem. Like the scuttlebut though so let's break out a keg of rum and celebrate.

Disagreeing with policy and sending letters to newspapers and Congress is not even in the same league as mutiny and coups.

BTW, the other senior leaders that were fired for the same blanket reason tended to be sent packing for hazing, or allowing hazing to contiue.  The latest was at RTC Great Lakes.  The RDCs, while not the CO or a CSG, PT'd recruits in a locked room for almost an hour while forcing them to drink excessive amounts of water causing at least 10 recruits to vomit or urinate on themselves.  Six RDCs are facing Courts Martial and I'd bet the CO will also retire.
