General Zinny is a new age, touchy-feely, PC, Politican PUSSY. He's not a Marine, he's a poser. How do I know? I served on his staff on Camp Pendleton in California.
He's cut from the same liberal, bleating, nipple tilting, milk-toast, bolt of cloth as Wesley Clark. I worked for women generals who were tougher than him. (General Carol Mutter comes to mind. She was tough.)
America has somehow produced a generation of generals who will now say and do anything to avoid going into harm's way. Patton, Chesty, Nimitz, and Lemay (Among many other great American Military leaders) are spinning in their graves listening to these Political Pimps.
Screw General Zinni. Someone please take take the last report from the Base re-allignment and closure commission, roll it up, and jam it in his mouth. He and his ilk joyfully lined up to ascribe to the BRACC. Even the Densest PFC knew closing bases would "enhance training" let alone make America safer. Yet asshole generals like clark and zinni bent over backwards to claim it would.
130 MAJOR military bases were closed during the Clintonista regime. Meanwhile millions of disabled Vet's who relied on those bases were displaced and forced to travel great distances for the benefits they earned, or were forced to buy their own health care for combat and service related injuries.
Meanwhile, during the same time training actually PLUMMETED. Our field traing was reduced from us deploying the entire unit to a foreign friendly nation, and defending that nation from a simulated foe, to moving our desks outside our offices (and passing the phone outside the windows so as not to wast radio batteries.) How does that help us win wars?
Screw General Zinni.

Never trust a Clinton guy. Zinny as CENTCOM seemed to screw things up pretty good as I recall.
