[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 195931, member: 4823"] I tried to limit myself to those who have left during W's reign - those who have some direct knowledge about the sort of support this Administration really gives our military command. I think Clark left before W took office, and Clark made Kosovo look like a cakewalk compared to Iraq. I made two mistakes with Zinni - I misspelt his name, and I thought he retired after W's coronation. Zinni does not really fit my criteria any better than Clark. I also misspelt Eaton's name. I find it rare that retired Generals speak out against the authority they spent their lifetimes defending. Usually, they remain silent. (Shinseki has not been outspoken, but has not been silent, either.) So I thought it notable that so many have left on principle. Can somebody tell me how many Generals have retired after serving under W's reign (so far)? Can somebody tell me how many of those have been outspoken supporters of W's administration? That will help me get an idea of whether four is a significant number of Generals to retire and subsequently speak out against the Administration they served. [/QUOTE]
