EXCERPT…
To America’s Generals….
“According to recently published reports, the Bush administration quietly approached several retired four-star generals last March about accepting a newly created position to coordinate military and political/diplomatic activity in Iraq. None accepted. One of those who refused was highly decorated retired Marine Corps Gen. John J. Sheehan, who was quoted in The Washington Post as saying, “So rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, ‘No, thanks.’ ” How unreasonable indeed it was of the president of the United States to ask a retired Marine Corps four-star general — during a time of war — to do something hard, particularly at the risk of an upset tummy. “

****************************** *************************
Ya gotta remember … today’s generals, retired and otherwise, are not of the MacArthur, Patton, Puller, Carlson, LeMay genre. These guys came up in the New America, the “hippy” and “me”generations, educated, socialized, and indoctrinated in the gub-mint schools, socialist msm, Hollyweird, etc., etc. What should one expect??? They talk it up good, and claim that they’re even “better” than the old timers–but it’s all bs, as any of the few remaining real Americans should clearly see.(1984 has come and gone.)
