I don't know that it is war mongering. If you were living and eating with Kurdish troops every day and you were a senior leader meeting with them over a period of years, people get to know each other and form friendships - in fact, we hope that they will do so, because it keeps them in line with US democratic ideals. So it really isn't so unusual for the to be upset, if they feel like their friends are in danger. It's not a good reason for us to stay their and continue to put our troops in harm's way, but it is understandable. Generals and Colonels love to pontificate, and with that they want to speak out. It's a different world from when the military saluted smartly and drove on. It used to be to speak out, was the end of a career. Wars give the military a chance to do what they train to do
