Army chief of staff says each death 'tears me up'(Right-wing extremist alert)

In truth, Schoomaker was preaching to the choir. A lot of the audience was made up of military personnel in uniform, one or two in Marine dress blues. The civilians seemed to be mostly retired military, many of them former officers. They sang the national anthem before Schoomaker spoke, and their questions afterward were all friendly. Audience members smiled at the general and at a reception later asked to pose for pictures with him.

"military personnel . . .Marine dress blues. . .national anthem. . .questions were friendly. . .members smiles. . ."

Thanks to the Chronicle for sniffing out this gang of insurgents a exposing them to the light of day.

Gen. Peter Schoomaker, chief of staff of the U.S. Army, looks like a soldier -- a burly man in the new camouflage Army service uniform -- but he sounded like a manager in a talk at the Marines' Memorial Association in San Francisco Friday.

Leave it to the sneaky right-wingers to find an out-of-the-way location like San Francisco for this meeting so that the liberals would be unable to attend.

The SF Chronicle gets today's "No Duh" Award, for pointing out the obvious.
