Default 20 retired US Generals speak Out against the War in Iraq

Here they come , 20 retired US generals have spoken out against the war in Iraq.

SignOnSanDiego.com > In Iraq -- Generals opposing Iraq war break with military tradition

This is article well worth reading it explains the military code of ethics that keeps soldiers from speaking out while in uniform and active. It says have this many retired military speak out against the way a war is being run is unprecedented. I guess it serious enough to make them feel they must.

It also gives historical facts about the generals who have retired and spoken out against war like in the Vietnam conflict.

It is good to see that these generals care more about the men under their command than about taking some heat from politicians because they tell the truth.

I'm going to try and find some transcripts of what these generals have said in its entirety if anybody has any please post it.

Well why don't you get 20 to sign a document supporting Bush or torture?

There were 23 flag officers that rebuked bush for torture.

I think you have the most appropriate screen name.

The point is this is unprecedented in military history.

Generals do not speak out against the way commanders in chief handle wars. Certainly not 20 of them .

More to come I know it.

Read the article , it is very informative.

Dizzy I do not mean you, I realize truth is not your thing.

Shame on you dizzy for that underwear comment .

You are proving about as much a waste of air as duck is.

Well you are either FOR or AGAINST something. Looks like 20 were against, and 2980 didn't have a problem with it. Still confused?

Yes, this a break from the past but still not sure if this is truly ethical and also wether this will have any effect on the careers of future flag officers.

If there's women's underwear to be worn, it will be done by family values Republicans. They enjoy all sorts of sexual perversions.
