Fired for Telling the Truth, Jailed for Documenting the Truth

‎"Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller says the Afghan government is erratic, ungrateful, and isolated from reality." And I might add evil and corrupt. Fuller gets a lot of credit from me for telling the truth. I wish one of the Generals or Admirals during the Vietnam War had done the same or resigned in protest instead of cowardly going along with a war they knew was wrong.

While Fuller got fired for telling an obvious truth, it could have been worse. Bradley Manning is still in military prison for documenting this. See U.S. General Fired for Criticizing Hamid Karzai and Afghanistan Promises to Side with Pakistan in War Against US and Obama Expands War and Obama Expands Prosecution of Whistleblowers.
