GENERALS ARE POLITICIANS AND AS SUCH GENERALLY FOLLOW RATHER THAN LEAD!!! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW OR READ ABOUT A SOLDIER OF GENERAL RANK JOINING IN THE FIGHTING WITH HIS TROOPS??? NEVER IS THE APPROPRIATE ANSWER! BY THE WAY HIS TROOPS ARE NOT HIS HE ONLY COMMANDS THEIR ACTIONS, HE GETS THE PRAISE THEY(TROOPS) GET PURPLE HEARTS OR BURIED A QUOTE I LEARNED IN VIETNAM, GENERAL FUCK-UP MAJOR DISASTER STILL APPLIES. GENERALS BELONG LOCK STOCK AND BARREL TO THE US GOV. TROOPS BELONG TO GOD AND GOD DOES NOT SPONSOR WARS!!! AMEN A 20 MONTH VETERAN OF THE VIETNAM FIASCO SAYS, GENERALS KILL EM ALL LET GOD SORTEMOUT!!! AMEN!!! THE ARMY ETAL NEEDS MORE UNDER THE RANK OF E-6 AND FEWER ABOVE!!!

Yet another brave Y!A @$$hole who is hiding behind the anonymity of the internet to spout off something they wouldn’t dare say to anyone’s face.

I suppose you could ask them. I suspect they don’t frequent Yahoo Answers. Which means you are just a loonie on a rant.

Ret. USAF SNCO

I think your own personal agenda is showing. The US Military is the most intelligent best trained and best equipped that the world has ever seen.

That being said, no commander of troops wants to have his people in harms way for 1 more second than is necessary. To imply otherwise is disingenuous

Is this a question, or are you just ranting with your opinions being protrayed as truths???

What a large bunch of baloney. Did you think this up all on your own?

none for personal reasons, we are in one hell of a mess over there and if we leave iran will sweep over the middle east to attack israel, you people need to get your head out of the sand and really see thre big picture

I think that there is a good possibility you don’t know what your talking about.
