Announcing Shinsecki’s appointment to the department of VA on 12/7 a good idea?(Vanity)

First let me thank General Shinsecki for his service and say that I am appalled at the internment of Japanese-American's during the Democratic Roosevelt administration.

My question to FReepers is, did Obama know he was announcing the appointment of the only General of Japanese descent on PEARL HARBOR DAY.

Why today?

"shisecki" apparently means "relative" in Japanese for what it's worth.

Initial post/article as well?

No

Chieftain told me the Marines don’t have different “special groups” (like green berets, etc.).

Marines' service uniform aren't different regardless if they are office pukes or Recon or airdales. The bottom line is that everyone who wears the eagle, globe and anchor earned that right with the title, "Marine", and we look upon each other as brothers.
