Franks, 57 who led US forces in the latest US -led war against Iraq, is retiring to spend more time with his family. One of the finest military men to serve..imo...too bad he feels the need to retire .. "to spend more time with his family".....

He was very close to Rumsfeld. This generated all kinds of backstabbing and scurrilous charges. All of which were investigated and dismissed. Can't blame the man for retiring for now. Shinseki still out there bashing him.
IMHO, we were lucky to have this man at this time. A man who began his career as an enlisted man.

Fiftyseven is pretty old for a soldier, even a General.

In this case he DOES want to spend more time with his family. Imagine being away from your wife for 8 years. Imagine not seeing your grandchildren grow up. Imagine living under the constant pressure this man has lived under when all he wants is to have coffee in the morning with the woman he loves, and take a shower in his own bathroom, and sleep in his own bed.
