Known? I suppose that you would have to define known. I have met a few, but only as, or in civilian roles. I never served under one, or had an intrest to. Im not the kind of person who takes the job of being put in a position to kill lightly. Not that he does, or others in the military do, but as for me i wouldnt, couldnt be a soldier on any level.
If I look at any Generals position, I have to reach the conclusion that he was, is an over-achiever (i before e) in the buisness of being a soldier. I would have to see that he has been all he could be for the military. I know that we have had Generals in the White house starting with Washington, but I dont like the idea of having one there today.
For me I have seen what the Presidents that focus on the economy have done. In my humble moronic opinion they have focused on money, and allowed the heads of companys to rape the American public. They have set up a nation that will do anything for MORE. They have allowed the offices from local government to the office of the President to be filled with whores. Give me the cash, and you will get what you need. So, the capitains of buisness get more freedom to do as they will. The government gets more "contributions", and we get more also, more pollution, more taxation without representation, more crime, more national debt, and so on.
That being said, I just cant wait to get a life long military person in charge of all the toys. Do I know what he would do with them, no, but I didnt see George W being more than a bumbler either.
Maybe I rubbed you the wrong way because I agreed with a post that was made by this PDM, who according to Mr. Nielsen is not using his real name. Maybe it is because I am a moron, because I dont proof what I type and let it all go, bad spelling, grammer,switched at birth generals, and all. Maybe it is bacause I stepped on your toes when I voiced a negitive opinion of General Clark. Maybe it is because I dont mind the style in which Taibbi writes. I do hope that the reason for the name calling is one of the above, and not just because I had an opinion, and put it on your board, but this is your house, and i understand that, and thank you for suffering a fool. By all means, may you get the president you want.
OOOPs, I stand corrected it was Mccaffery, and i linked the two together....oh well. It is tough to tell the Generals apart, so many wars and so much killing, hard to keep up with the Basra Highway, and the high level bombs falling on civilians and embassys in eastern Europe....I will accept moron, but i prefer buffoon. I have enjoyed your forum since the spring when I happened upon it... I was only trying to give my two cents worth, sorry again about the mistake in incidents and Generals. No they do not dress exactly alike, but they are cut from the same cloth, a cloth i prefer not to see worn by the commander and cheif in the White House.
I agree with PDM. I cannot recall the exact date of the article, but The New Yorker ran a story about General Clark attacking a large number of Iraq troops when there was no need during Gulf 1, i believe after the cease fire was enacted. I do not want a warrior nation, or to be led by a new age warrior. Supposed buisness type administrations that cater to a global economy are bad enough, since their new hostil take overs are done thru war. I can only imagine what a warrior, that will in my opinion cater to a war crowd would do for us in the future. Bully for anyone who points out the actions of want to be rulers. It is again time for a new government, one i heard of in grade school, one for the people and by the people.
