Isn’t he the same a-hole that decided ALL troops should wear a beret, not just the special forces guys who actually earned it?

Yes.
But, he also wanted a larger force in the Iraq War.

Yup, one and the same. Everyone should wear the same beret so no one’s feelings would be hurt.

He also was the one who, correctly, told Rumsfeld that the size of the force was inadequate for the mission. This one blunder by Rumsfeld cost Rummy his job, had to be rectified by the surge and cost George W. Bush and the GOP dearly in 2006 and 2008.

A lot of folks have pointed out that Shinseki was right all along about the number of troops needed in Iraq, so here’s another one. Shinseki’s also the one who spearheaded Army transformation, leading to our current Brigade Combat Team configuration, and it was long overdue and very successful.
I have my quibbles about the beret, too, but Shinseki did FAR more to help the Army and this country than he did to hurt it.
