Army and other Pentagon officials raised concerns that Mr. McCain would be furious at what could appear to be a back-door effort to circumvent his intentions.

Wow. Really wow. If I were McCain, i'd be on the warpath like crazy after this.

What is the problem here? Can someone tell me what the problem is with beating the f@#$king shit out of people?
