Good Grief, there are probably about 3,000 retired flag officers in this country. A dozen are screaming for Rumsfeld's hide. Big deal. It's comforting to me to know that of the other 2,988 Generals and Admirals they either agree with the Secretary of Defense or have the class to remain quiet, knowing that animosity towards this level of the chain of command simply causes more troop casualties and higher costs overall. |
If you count the reserves, there are will over 3000 retired flag officers. They tend to live long lives.
