From esteemed civil rights advocate Robert Novak:

But Afghanistan also needs more troops. So where will they come from? Nobody knows, and that connotes an overcommitment by the United States and a miscalculation at the Defense Department. The uniformed military does not speak out publicly, but the generals are outraged. A former national security official considers the relationship at the Pentagon between civilians and the military as worse than at any time in his long career.

If the current president is the one who is so pro-military, and if polls show that the American public trusts Bush in national security affairs more than they trust Kerry, why does the military hate the Bush administration? Why do they hate Rumsfeld? Sour grapes? Liberal propaganda?

Remember, this is Novak. He ain't exactly an objective journalist.
