How can one story have so many errors? Easy, this is a pipe dream by the defeatist, military hating media.
Army retirements are all done on the last working day of the month, not staggered all month.
Thinking these Generals want to be associated with the party of defeat is not too bright. While Wes Clark, William Crowe and a few others sold their souls for 15 minutes of fame, most others are far more proud of themselves and their troops.
American Generals and Admirals lead the greatest military in the world. They didnt get appointed to their positions because of family connections or payments. They worked their way up a demanding and tough ladder of promotions. There is very little chance they will throw it all away to play lapdog to the media. Afterall, most, including me (not a General or even a Colonel) hate the media more than any other entity in America.
Q: Why are these so-called leaders running to Anti-American attack machines like CNN and NYT for their "story?"
A: I sense their sedition is motivated by some money, DNC politics and a need to hear their own voices.
I can't believe it took until your post to read some common sense. Sometimes it just baffles me that people can still be so naive as to believe anything they read in the media. Especially when it concerns attacks against Bush, Cheney or Rumsfeld.
Excuse me, but does everybody realize this work of fiction was suggested by Richard Holbroke in the Washington Post?!?! This is so much baloney it isn't even worth reading, nevermind discussing.

BS, lots of generals got where they are by kissing ass.
