Why can't we have more Generals like this in the U.S. Military?

Every once in awhile a true officer will speak out against the atrocities being committed by the U.S. military.  This one General did and he was basically fired for telling the truth.  How dare he show courage, honesty,integrity,bravery, etc in going against the tyrants running our wars.  Amazing how Oliver North faced the same situation and was eventually vindicated for his actions. Now he is a celebrity of sorts, go figure.

Nine years after he was thrust into the international limelight, six years after he was abruptly asked to cut short his military career, and five years after he publicly accused the Bush administration of war crimes, retired Major General Antonio M. Taguba, only the second Filipino American to reach star rank in the U.S. Army, exudes the warmth and serenity of a man at peace with himself.
