Isn't Eaton the one who whined when his son was "bullied" in Ranger School a couple years ago. What a Puss!

The article says MG Eaton was "in charge of training the Iraqi military from 2003-2004".

One of LTG Newbold's criticisms of Rumsfeld is the poor job of getting the training of the Iraqi military off the ground in 2003-2004.



By the way, I have no idea if it is significant, but LTG Newbold retired from his position as Director for Operations (J3) on the Joint Staff. Newbold's four predecessors - GEN Howell M. Estes III USAF, GEN Peter Pace, USMC, ADM Vern Clark, USN and VADM Scott A. Fry - and his successor - GEN Norton A. Schwartz, USAF - all went on to follow-on assignments. Estes became CINCNORAD, Pace is CJCS, Clark became CNO, Fry became COMSIXTHFLT and Schwartz commands TRANSCOM.

I don't think I care much for those fellows.

AL, the breadth of your knowledge (or google skills) never ceases to amaze me.

From what I have seen in the news I believe Gen. Zinni has politcal aspirations much like Westly Clark.

And MG Eaton ....IMHO is another "political"general, definitly not a warrior but another "wuss".
