Your Taxes At Work Your Ego is Killer

In the past few weeks, several retired generals of the United States have come out and talked about how bad Donny Rumsfeld has been running the war in Iraq. Hold on to your hats folks... I'm pretty pissed off at all of these turkeys attacking Rummy.

The common beat of their collective drum has been that Rummy is an idiot and he needs to be removed. When asked where was this mentality a few years ago, they respond that they cannot raise a conflicting view because dissentors are booted out of the army or demoted. There are quite a few examples of senior military commanders in the field and in the pentagon who spoke up and their careers were flushed because of it.

So basically... these now verbal generals made a decision that the issues they now consider so vital weren't worth risking their careers over. Good for you generals. Either the problems aren't that big of a deal and you're just bitter or the issues are serious but you were willing to put your men in harm's way to further your career.

Either way, you have no business representing the US armed forces. You are an embarassment.

As a side note, Rummy is a jackass.

Interesting take on things...
Though I think I'm going to have to agree!

It is damn stupid to listen to the retired generals. It doesn't matter if they are right or not.

If they had stepped down/spoken out over gays in the military, should we have listened? If a general steped down/spoke out against percieved inferior army funding, should we have listened? If an Admiral stepped down/spoke out on who we should vote for President, should we have listened?

The military is not in charge of military policy. There are many good reasons for that. And it really doesn't matter if they are right.
