Army Career Behind Him, General Critical of Bush - New York Times
I'm always stricken when I read an article about U.S. Military Generals criticizing policy, etc. You don't see it often because it is counter culture of the Military, and when you do see it, I always take heed. Every general I have ever met has blown me away with both charisma and intellect. These guys don't get to where they are with out being the very best in their profession and I assume they are hugely driven by personal success as the monetary rewards are not that great. What that in mind, when a guy like General Batiste says this war is broken I think that is a big deal.
