I think the motives are financial, and a way for him to pretend to be apart from the mess when he was right in on it.
Obama is a piece of shit and I believe Gates is truthful, but these after-the-fact, in the SAFEZONE whistle-blowers are a little too cute by half. If Gates were a real man he would have stood up and sung at the time when his words would have made a difference. Right now he just looks like an opportunist.
And I repeat, Obama is filth, but it doesn't mean Gates isn't as well, just in a different sphere.
Gates would have been out of line to publicly attack his Command-in-Chief while he wore the uniform or served under him.
Not if he rendered his resignation in order to bring to light these loaded allegations. A real man would have done that, if this business was as awful as he now claims. There is blood on his hands because he sat on them.
Someone in my family was career military, retiring very high up the chain. I've learned things about the Pentagon and DC that I wish I never heard.
I'm retired military myself. That's why I said the higher you go in the military, the more of a politician you become.
Gates is a politician. His book needs to be viewed in that light.
