What a ridiculous and meaningless assumption, not to mention petty.
Is everything about politics? Is it possible your hero Bush has screwed this up? Are you even open to the suggestion or notion that GW Bush is not the man you think he is?
My son is in the Army...this Army. As the conservative parent of a soldier in the United States Army, the words of these Generals have far more weight than that of Washington Bureaucratic power hungry hack like Rummy, or an elitist politician such as Bush...
The evidence is right in front of you. Deal with it.
Having served in the military for 24 years I have seen enough generals and their egos to last a life time. Bush was only limited by the reductiuon in force that the Klintons forced on the military hoping for that big "peace dividend" so they could spend it on pet projects at the expense of the military...where were the generasl then?
