Imagine what, that you would search high, and low to find such an article?
I believe sir.......
I do love to watch these neocons on here who bitch and moan about Democrats dissing the troops turn around and totally disrespect a West Point grad with a long and distinguished career as soon as he crosses them. hypocrites.

google his name... it's the third link.... and the first one from an official government source.
did you bother to read it?
of course not.
Care to show me where I disrespected the man? Is anything I said untrue? Or did you even look at his bio?

Here ya go...fourth link down...

west point class of 72....(the same year I graduated from annapolis) he missed vietnam.... I read it. what is your point? are you suggesting that it's OK to speak disrespectfully of flag officers if they have not been in combat? Are you suggesting that only combat veterans are capable of any indepth understanding of tactics, strategy, training, and morale?
"The good general has no combat experience but I understand he teaches a mean French language class! He's been bus ever since trying to pass himself off as a pundit."
I know that I would never dream of talking about a career general officer in such a way.
but maybe respect for seniors is taken more seriously in the navy...
I know if any senior enlisted person in the navy ever said that about an admiral, he'd be at mast.

Again, where have I disrespected the man? I have stated the truth....apparently YOU are the one who thinks commenting on anothers lack of combat experience is somehow "disrespectful".... touch a nerve, did I?
Where did I say the general had no in depth understanding of tactics, strategy training and morale? I never stated such nor implied it. What I did and am impling is that Eaton has an axe to grind....
clearly then, you understand that debating the efficacy of our foreign policy and how we use the military to implement it is a natural part of the process of American governance..... it is NOT, in any way, a failure to "support our troops" to debate how they are used.

you touched no nerve with me.... I know that there is very little live fire experience to be had from the members of the class of '72 in any academy..... bosnia...grenada....lebanon. I got mine in Lebanon. where did you get yours command sergeant major?
I think your suggestion that a general's skills and experience are summarized by his foreign language experience is disrespectful. If I were to suggest that the extent of YOUR experience was in knowing how to skillfully apply black shoe polish, would you be offended?

You are being disingenous and you know it. You obviously did not read my post or are intentionally ignoring my specific stated intent. I was implying the general had an axe to grind...I am now plainly stating that the general has motive for bashing the current administration.
I went out of my way to post the general's bio; posted a link to it as well. I summarized his experience in that way...period. You are tap dancing and spinning all over the place. If that is how you acted as a Naval officer you must have been one slick and sneaky sob. I think however that you were probably better than that...at least I would like to think so.
As for combat experience...Viet Nam ...twice. You were a UN observer in Lebanon I presume.... I was an observer too...a forward observer for a grunt outfit.
I read your post and quoted the passage I felt was disrespectful. I stand by that. I think it was flippant and inappropriately discounted the general's well earned experience.
Regarding your combat service, I thank you for it.
God help us if great military minds must all have such combat experience... we will never know peace.
