Two star generals who are given a division usually aren't candy asses and usually on their way to three or four stars. Do you base you comment on personal knowledge?

If he missed getting his third star, it'a probably because he locked horns with Rummy or others over the war.

He's right about the country not being mobilized to fight the WOT, btw.

BS. There have been plenty of Two star and higher candyas$es throughout our Mil -

Yes.

Neither here nor there - The matter is the guy is flat out wrong on how to fight the WOT and he doesn't like be told so by others....and when he is he reverts to calling it "intimidation". We don't have the time to pacify such concerns today.

He's right about the country not being mobilized to fight the WOT, btw.

No he's not. Our military continues to fight the most successful unconventional war in the history of man. And here in the States for the most part the citizens of this Country are doing exactly what they should be doing....being Americans every single day and rolling along.

Do I wish the public was a little more informed. Of course (but that is always the case). Do I wish the public understood the negative level that those weak-kneed types at State and Pentagon are having on our efforts. Of course.

But on the whole we are just fine.

I was with a Lt. Col years ago, when one of these (Lion) 2 Stars broke down and cried like a little girl. Stress just got to him. As in all walks of life, there all all types of people and personalities serving at ALL levels.
