Endgame Viable

Quick Observation: I completely disagree with General Pace’s recent remarks, but I respect him for standing behind his morals and not caving in to the apology witch hunt. One should never have to apologize for one’s beliefs (even if they’re misguided :). Pace did acknowledge that he shouldn’t have brought his personal feelings into a policy discussion, which I thought was an appropriate response. That advocacy group demanding an apology is just trying to leverage some free publicity for their cause. (There’s nothing particularly wrong with that, either. It’s standard PR strategy.)
