Why? Isn’t he the one that came up with the black beret because he felt that would give each and every soldier a sense of pride. I seem to remember that he compared it to the ‘green beret’.

Maybe he will give everyone at the VA an orange beret.

However, he was right about Rumsfeld's estimate of troops needed in Iraq being way too low.

I thought wearing the uni and serving your country gave you pride? Good to know that Zerobama hires the Bush rejects like General Feelgood.

I don't think it gave a sense of pride to soldiers, but seeing a pregnant female soldier in maternity Battle Dress Uniform and a black "Ranger" beret sure gave a sense of pride to Marines.

well, in the pic at the link he’s wearing Ranger rocker on his sleeve, but no CIB.....so he gave away the Black Beret

and the surge didn’t need “several hundred thousand”.....it was well under 200K total, IIRC

what a guy!.....
