I think Geraldo is mistaken, I mean, supposedly this comes from the Pentagon?! I guess the official word just hasn't gotten out to the troops...

If the Pentagon wanted Geraldo gone, then the 101st would have been informed immediately. It's not like they have to wait for the carrier pigeon to arrive with the information.

That's entirely possible. The decision may have been made at the theater level, and the word just hasn't gotten down to the unit yet. Geraldo still may find himself being yanked later today.
