I, for one, am glad that the General is speaking the truth on this.
NASA has become nothing more than an obnoxious waste of money on a huge PR campaign (with several very visible failures).
During the Cold War, this PR/propaganda served a useful end. Today, the manned space program is a huge sinkhole for cash that would be better spend on probes and unmanned exploration.

Nothing a good house cleaning could not fix - if there was any political will to do so.
