A French officer speaks out on the war in Syria, ISIS and the conduct of the coalition in Syria. This is one brave officer who chose to speak out knowing that it would probably mean his career and pension. Too many officers hold their tongues rather than risking another promotion. The last paragraph is very telling.

Colonel Legrier’s article was quickly removed from the National Defense Review’s website, and the French Army has said he may be punished for speaking out. C’est la guerre. Would that we had a few U.S. officers willing to risk a slightly smaller pension in order to acknowledge publicly that their nation is tactically and strategically adrift.
