Y'know, most of the big screw-ups in this war have been the Army's fault. Consequently, their stock has fallen with the Secdef--that's the way it is supposed to work.
Watching a bunch of retired Generals bitch that the secdef bent their dogtags and stamped their meal cards 'no dessert' is damned amusing.
I've seen political princes like these generals wreck officers' careers because the a guy used the wrong background color on a PowerPoint slide.....
Then they complain that Rumsfeld is 'swaggering and arrogant'?!

Good morning.
"Y'know, most of the big screw-ups in this war have been the Army's fault."
I can't see that any of our services have screwed up. We've lost no battles, and we've not been hit on our own soil. There is intelligence that the Z-man is withdrawing to Gaza, giving up the battlefield and admitting failure.
The war is progressing and so is the run up to the election.
Of, course there is the invasion from Mexico, so not everything is rosy, is it.
