“Some of America’s most senior military commanders are prepared to resign if the White House orders a military strike against Iran, according to highly placed defence and intelligence sources. Tension in the Gulf region has raised fears that an attack on Iran is becoming increasingly likely before President George Bush leaves office. The Sunday Times has learnt that up to five generals and admirals are willing to resign rather than approve what they consider would be a reckless attack.” (Sunday Times of London)
Highly placed military officers would of course be sacked if they made that sentiment public… unless an unassailable number of them did it at the same time. My guess is that there would be considerably more than five that way…
