хмм, а вот еще один генерал уходил по странному поводу, журналист роллинг стоунза насобирал критических в адресс администрации Обамы замечаний его помошников,
в результате принес извинения, а потом подал в отставку:

I extend my sincerest apology for this profile. It was a mistake reflecting poor judgment and should never have happened. Throughout my career, I have lived by the principles of personal honor and professional integrity. What is reflected in this article falls far short of that standard. I have enormous respect and admiration for President Obama and his national security team, and for the civilian leaders and troops fighting this war and I remain committed to ensuring its successful outcome.
