"I’m disappointed in you, Major. Your impulses were good, but I’m sorry your judgment didn’t match. You were misled into believing I had a part in this conspiracy. You should have checked your facts. If you’d come to me, perhaps I could have set you straight without involving those civilians. Some of the President’s staff are not sympathetic to the military, and I’m afraid you’ve fed their paranoid fantasies about us. And you’ve embarrassed yourself. It didn’t have to be this way. I hope you’ve learned something by this."
