[quote:Butchbutch 32276481:MV8yMTE2NzE3XzM1Njk1Mjk2X0U1MjY0Mjgy] We still have FAR too many Generals and Admirals, most of them heavily politicized and working for a high paying job with a defense contractor on retirement.

It is almost as if you would think that if the top Brass does not agree with Obama they end up fired or have their name dragged through the mud. I must need coffee though and haven't seen the big picture, Obama wouldn't do something so emperor like and put the nation in the hands of incompetent people ...
