Respect your elders. Tom, like many senior officers that I've met, has an uncanny ability to make me rethink my positions or my perceptions of "facts." IMO, he makes a strong case that Hoh should have sucked it up and completed his tour before resigning.
On the other hand, when I first read the story, I was wondering why Hoh left the Marines. Does anyone know? Maybe he was disillusioned with the understanding that the military is only a partial solution in small wars, and he thought he could be more effective as a political officer. I dunno.
Any thoughts?
