Hersh: Our Military Is 'Very Loyal to the President, But They are Getting to the Edge.'

Think Progress � Hersh: Our Military Is �Very Loyal to the President, But They�re Getting to the Edge�:

"This morning on CNN, New Yorker journalist Seymour Hersh addressed the uproar at the highest levels of the U.S. military over plans to launch a massive strike against Iran that would include nuclear weapons:

What I'm writing here is that if this [plan to use nukes] isn't removed, and I say this very seriously, I've been around this town for 40 years, some senior officers are prepared to resign. They're that upset about the fact that this plan is kept in. [O]ne thing about our military, they're very loyal to the president, but they're getting to the edge. They're getting to the edge with not only Rumsfeld, but with Cheney and the President."
