Although it is possible that President Roosevelt should have taken the stand General Dodge suggested in his letter, he did not. This is for two reasons. First, during his service, General Willard H. Brownson performed admirably. Second, Brownson is retired, and the public views the conduct of retired officers differently than the conduct of active officers.
