I thought it was an excellent in-your-face move that General Keane gave to Rummy.

I also think highly of General Shinseki, berets and all.

I'm not sure that I have the ground truth info on Keane's decision. But, its certainly plausible that he decided that it wasn't worth the grief. He doesn't suffer fools gladly.

No doubt that Shinseki made a PR boo boo over the berets, but the truth is that the troops kinda like them, and we no longer have the Bragg - Rest of the Army divide.
