What the military REALLY thinks of Rumsfeld

There are approximately 870 active duty generals and admirals Click Here according to Hugh Hewitt, conservative radio talk show host, attorney, author, and blogger.

Aside from the half-dozen who spoke out against Rumsfeld the other day, please take a moment to hear from a combat arms officer who cared enough to tell us about the "tens of thousands of Officers, Commissioned/Warrant/Non-Commissioned, that would go to hell and back for this Secretary."Click Here

UPDATE (04/17/06): "...no one seems to have bothered to ask which, if any, of these generals had ever submitted his own resignation in protest against the conduct of the Iraq war, or the bumpy transition we are locked in now...their opinions would have carried far more weight if they had stated them at some personal cost to themselves while on active service by resigning in protest. That action might have also carried some evidence of the courage Americans expect of the highest ranking officers of its uniformed services." -- Thomas Lipscomb, senior fellow of the Annenberg Center for the Digital Future.

UPDATE (04/21/06): "Currently, there are about 4,700 living members of the retired General Officer corps, most of whom left active duty between Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Last week, .13 (that's point one three) percent (or 13 ten-thousandths) of them decided to help write the Democrats' '06 midterm-election playbook. Six retired officers (seven if we're to include former Demo presidential hopeful Wesley Clark) issued public indictments of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's (read: the Bush administration's) conduct of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

It is worth noting, because the Leftmedia hasn't, that the six complainants are all alumni of Clinton's Pentagon Cabal. Nor has the Leftmedia mentioned the support Secretary Rumsfeld has received from more consequential retired generals such as former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Richard Myers or former OEF and OIF commander Tommy Franks." --The Patriot Post (PatriotPost.US)
