Your feedback is indicative of what I meant by some of them getting fizzed off early in the SoD change over.
Some, probably, mostly army generals would not want to hear of any reduction in forces in the way of manpower. Others across the board probably realized things they may have been responsible for putting in place now where on the chopping block. Others yet, would perhaps lost future positions in civilian life, as their pet projects may have been put up for review.
Perhaps most where honest players and brokers in what they believed should be retained.
One thing I think that is fair to say, is that Rummy came in with the goal of streamlining (dropping projects/weapon systems), where new promising technologies would make up for any deficit in dropped items.
So for all we know, some of these guys might have simply got on his bad side prior to the Iraqi war being planned out, and they keep the grudge going, in how the reacted to any suggestions brought forth. Surely we are only hearing from a very few generals currently, that want Rummy dumped. And the L/MSM is milking it for all they can. Keep them on evening news and talk shows, make it look like dozens of generals and admirals where opposed to how Rummy carried out his duties. Tell a lie long enough, and many start to believe tactics.
