INDEPENDENT LIVING • ASSISTED LIVING • SKILLED NURSING FACILITY • RESPITE CARE The review of Home of the Brave (“In Review,” “Rapid Fire,” August 2007) mentions the alleged “liberal media bias against the U.S. military.” I totally disagree that this bias exists. The duty of a free press is to report the truth, not to act as a mouthpiece for the administration. Where the media has failed is to press for the exposure of the military malpractice committed by the leadership over the period of this war. Why didn’t the generals at the top resign their commissions rather than allow this totally foolhardy adventure to begin? Didn’t the Powell Doctrine enunciate the use of overwhelming force, as well as a clear exit strategy? That neither of these conditions existed should have made the men in charge tell the president not to invade, and failing to have their advice heeded they should have done the honorable thing and quit. In addition, those who didn’t recognize the quagmire we were about to enter should also face severe punishment for their ignorance. As a physician I had to face the specter of malpractice for my errors. Why not the generals? —Lt. Cmdr. D.W.
