Telling the truth

. . . can get you fired, even when you're a two-star general.

To wit:
In an interview with Politico, Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller, deputy commander of the American-led NATO effort to train and equip Afghan security forces, called key elements of the Afghan government “isolated from reality,” described Karzai as “erratic,” and said officials there “don’t understand the sacrifices that America is making to provide for their security.”

Whole story here. (Original remarks here in Politico - worth reading.) Nothing, but nothing, General Fuller said is off-base - if anything, he was being kind.
