    It’s a pity. I hate to see talented people leave the military.

    I realize the circumstances are very different, but I hope he doesn’t become another LtCol Ollie North. I expect he will retire into a decent position in the military-industrial complex and keep his mouth shut. – he never was a DC guy as I remember (I could be wrong on this). Maybe he can do some housecleaning the in SF support world (or which the former Blackwater is the one firm that hit the papers).
