General Peter Pace was let go today as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. That’s a good thing. But the administration has tolerated his poor performance for too long, and dismissed him fearing his anticipated reconfirmation hearing would be ugly.
If the administration was hoping to avoid answering the tough questions, by avoiding a reconfirmation hearing for Pace, they can forget it.
General Pace grossly overstepped his bounds and poorly represented the military with his political actions and misguided statements.
