I'm a retired Army officer of a certain rank. For the last 12 years of my 30-year career I worked closely with general officers. Except for a couple who slipped through, they were well-educated, thoughtful, carefully-spoken and articulate. When a general officer resorted to profanity, you knew your shit was in the street.

For Mike Hayden to call McCarthy an asshole means the GO corps has had it with McCarthy and, probably, with Republican efforts to tar the military.
