Like I said, these people have families. That specific general said he's retiring "because of family matters".

The fuck kinda father is going to put his own children and (if he has them) grandchildren into danger?

The kind of patriots that founded our country. They had families too, and they took dangerous stands so their families wouldn't have to live under tyranny.

Were most of them not regular people? I'm talking about generals, people currently being surveilled for any disloyalty.
