This lack of faith in the nation's most senior commanders - such as in Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Navy Admiral Michael Mullen, who would be czar - by those who actually have to give the orders that send soldiers to their deaths has created a "trust gap". And it is this, not the Iraqi insurgency, that is killing the American military."
