I am probably more vindictive than most people, but I were Rummy I would find out if these generals had any kids in the officer ranks (generals are notorious for their nepotism) or if not, who if any officers they were "sponsoring". These unfortunates would be given assignments and ratings that would assure that they would progress no further in their careers.
Just recall them to active duty and put them on a Moped leading convoys through hot spots.
