The buck stops with him and he did nothing wrong...although with the heat that has been brought down upon him by the media he will be told not to initiate any more letters. The Wontons and Webbies will always choose to believe differently as it fits their agenda to do so.

Right...at the top of the psychological warfare apparatus sits a lowly Lt. colonel. Get real. Propaganda is orchestrated from the top down, from the highest level to the lowest - always has and always will be.
I suggest you pick up a few books on military history and military strategy. Obviously your stint in the services has given you a "know-it-all" delusion based on a very narrow window of activity that you personally witnessed. There is much more to understanding something than mere personal first-hand observation of a narrow slice of that something. To understand anything, one must do research and lots of it.
Start with books on information warfare that pay special attention to Goebbels, his laws of propaganda and the transfer of Nazi specialists into the US military appartus post WWII.
