Why do the Joint Chiefs hate America?

Tsk, tsk...giving aid and comfort to the terrorists by questioning their Commander in Chief.

The question really should be: Why does Dubya hate the troops?

Think Progress » 5th Former Joint Chiefs Chairman Objects to Bush’s Plan To Authorize Torture

Last Thursday, Gen. Colin Powell, a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sent a letter to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) objecting to the President’s plan to redefine Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. Powell said Bush’s plan would “put our troops at risk.”

He was joined by three other former Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs — Gen. John Vessey, Gen. John Shalikashvili and Admiral William Crowe. Moments ago, McCain’s office announced that a fifth former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Hugh Shelton, has publically declared his objections. Shelton said Bush’s plan “would signal that the U.S. ‘is attempting to water down’ its obligations and would be an ‘egregious mistake.’”

Anyone who still claims Dubya is a man of "deep moral convictions" should be waterboarded until they swear eternal allegiance to Zod.
