Well, I'm not LTG Rokke, but I know him pretty well. And his retirement was planned without regard to who was in the Whitehouse at the time.

So the WND story is bunk.

Considering that only 10 generals retiring in 1997 made the news, when WND claimed 24 retirements in protest in one month of that year, that should pretty well put paid to WND's reporting...especially with your first-hand insight.

Thanks.
