Depriving a village somewhere of a perfectly serviceable idiot

Babble on.

In case anyone's wondering why Matthew Good is sporting a shit-eating grin today: first he steps in it:

I’ll not mince my words – General Rick Hillier is bad news for the Canadian military, the Canadian government, and the people of this country. The rhetoric spewed by Hillier recently might as well have come straight from Bush administration talking points.

Then he jams both feet into his mouth at once.

If Hillier is a ‘tell it like he sees it soldier’ then perhaps he should not have been given the position. Perhaps they should have given it to someone with a little more tact.

To suggest that tact should be the deciding factor in who commands our Armed Forces and who doesn't shows an absolutely astounding ignorance. This twit would be out of his depth in a puddle (with props to Skippy the Bomb-Sniffing Dog).

Babble off.
