Read Fred Frank's and TomClancy's book, Into The Storm. Franks thought highly of McCaffery. BTY, I thought Schwartzcofts critizisms of Fred Franks were unwarranted too

Good book and finished it up last year. Am working on "Every Man A Tiger" by Clancy and Chuck Horner.

I guess I am weary of McCaffery, as he is a bit political. They did have some stand-up Army general on CNN in the afternoon that was straight and to the point.

I agree on Schwarzkopf. It wonder if they ever patched things up after the fact. You can't argue with the results that either produced in Desert Storm. And I respect Franks. Anyone who agrees to have his lower leg sawed off, so he can stay in the US Military, is one heck of a special person.

After all the defending I have done on McCaffery, I don't like him on TV either. I can't run him down because of his GW1 record though.
