anyone under consideration for general should have their political views investigated before being promoted. Those who are already generals should have the same done, and the ones deemed unreliable should be kicked out.
Then when someone more liberal than "W" fills the White House the same thing should be done? Wise up.

I believe the USSR tried that policy. Don't think it worked too well for them.
Are you sure the issue is political views? Considering how the military are already overstretched, maybe these guys don't want to send troops into a battle where they'll be outnumbered and short of supplies. I can remember the bomb shortage during Vietnam. I wish some generals had stood up to the Secretary of Defense back then.
Are sure that is a good idea? What happens if a democrat wins in 2008?
