The best part was the all-to-predictable trashing of any critic:

However, White House response to the former general's criticism was
swift and sharp. Spokesman Tony Fratto dismissed Washington as
"increasingly irrelevant" and "a relic" who "made some embarrassing
gaffes" during his own military career, such as the Continental
Army's near destruction in the Battle of Long Island in 1776.
"The general's reckless and irresponsible comments show that he
clearly does not understand the realities of 21st-century warfare,"
Fratto said.
Conservative pundits moved quickly to discredit the decorated general.
"I don't care who you are—or if you cannot tell a lie—it's un-
American to question the president in a time of war," Sean Hannity
said on his radio program Monday. "Plus, I find it very interesting
that a man who owned slaves and sold hemp thinks he's entitled to
give our Commander in Chief lessons on how to run a war."

This would be really funny if it wasn't painfully too close to reality.
