Yes, I agree it might be over the line. But, in my opinion, we ARE talking about retired GENERALS here. Not draftees. Not people that served for a few years for money to go to college. So, I tend to be one of those people who listen. I may not agree, but when people like this break ALL known protocols, I have to ask myself why. I still may walk away thinking these guys are wrong, but they've earned the right to speak in my book. Shame on everyone who would dare call a decorated veteran a "traitor" simply because they don't like what they said. I hear Saddam operated very much like that. We are the greatest country in the world because Americans are free to speak their minds, even if we don't agree with them.

Welcome to FreeRepublic.

1. This is a planned even by Democrats, they talked about it months ago. They went around and found all the retired military members they could that were on their side (fellow believers) and willing to spout their talking points. Now they are coming out.

2. How many retired generals are their total? These generals who agreed to be part of the Democrat campaign (and there is no way do deny that is what this is given 1) represent what percent of retired Generals? 15%, 2%?, 0.1%? What percent?

3. On another thread one of these generals was shown to be part of a Left-Wing democrat think tank. In other words being paid specifically to spout anti-Republican talking points.

4. Several of these Generals have been fired by Rumsfield, or have had their pet projects canceled by him, of course they are going to attack him. So what? Especially if they are even not a majority?
