Professional Soldiers ® - View Single Post - Army study: Iraq occupation was understaffed

I was under the impression that 11 senior generals did stand up and made the point the plan was flawed as to the number of troops required and all basically saw their careers ended. Is this true ?

I had a beer with a young soldier who had been in Central America in the drug intervention when Gen. Shinseki came down. He told me he would follow that man through hell. Accurate?

Civilians decide when to go to war. They then need to get out of the way and give the professionals what they need. I will always detest Paul Wolfowitz for his treatment of Eric Shinseki.
