Novak: Pentagon generals won't vote for Bush

Can you please explain to me how you drew this conclusion? I have read the article and I do not draw that conclusion. Every general I know and every officer I know, retired and active, is NOT supporting Kerry! Can't stand him. So are you saying that Generals are going to stay home and not vote! That is the only conclusion that I can draw. PS I hate when people add their own subtitles to articles. Just post it as it is!

This article is so against everything that I know - especially given General Franks and the majority of the opinions of the Point alumni.

Just read the last sentence of the article.

In defense of Destro, the last paragraph of the article actually states that the generals in question plan to not vote at all. I believe that that is how Destro could come to that conclusion.

I also do not like to see article titles changed by the poster. However, this is not really what happened. Destro added the "punchline" from the last paragraph and set it off in parentheses so that it would not be confused with the original title. I have no objection to this.

Did you even bother to read the article? Especially the end?

Lots of kneejerk ostrich-action on this and other threads. We've got a problem, and it's not going away.

Unbelievable. Read the last paragraph of the article. This is what it says.

"While Democrats roar, the generals are silent -- in public. Many confide that they will not cast their normal Republican votes on Nov. 2. They cannot bring themselves to vote for John Kerry, who has been a consistent Senate vote against the military. But they say they are unable to vote for Don Rumsfeld's boss, and so will not vote at all."
