May I remind you that the military SERVES the civilian in our goverment!

[meenie]

You've got the wrong Pollack. Kashveili (or something similar) was Clinton's Joint Chief.

[Captain Kirk]

Your conclusion is---what?

[stimpyone]

Oh I'm well aware of who serves who - but when a draft dodger like Wolfowitz publicly criticizes a warrior like Shinseki, we've got some serious problems on our hands. Let Wolfwowitz survive Ranger school and then he'll be able to shoot his mouth off.

The military does work for the civlian sector. However one would expect the civilian sector to at least have enough common sense to listen to the military. I do not necessarily agree with all Shenseki has done administratively (berets and Stryker) but when it comes to being a tactician he is hard to beat. Which would you rather have a general who is good tactically or one who screws up administration? If I was on the ground I know which one I would rather have.
