What exactly did he "tell like it is?". The Strategy was developed by him, so apparently he supported it and was executing it. Apparently he didn't disagree with the mission or the strategy. He didn't express reservations about implementing the strategy.

What he did was bad mouth the national security team on a personal level to the media. He came across as disparaging the civilian leadership. By our Constitution, the civilian leadership runs the military.

He is a brilliant strategist, but apparently he had no understanding of the political-military environment that his job put him in. Who says this kind of stuff to a reporter, who is writing a profile on you?

If you called a press conference and personally attacked your colleagues and your bosses, and it was printed, would you expect to keep your job?
