The failure to take seriously reports of this nature and the message it sends will result in a one-term presidency. The signatories of this statement are not typically politically active, and, most assurededly, they are not traditional Democrats. Anyone who thinks that Generals McPeak or Hoar may be dismissed as merely expressing ideology is either displaying unrelenting and unthinking ignorance or is simply blinded by his own ideological intensity.
It may be of temporary comfort and a display of bravado to be so dismissive but the result of such a head-firmly-in-the-sand posture will result in many early apartment lease terminations by political appointees and employees of this administraion.

I don't know of Hoar, but I will guarantee you that McPeak has zero credibility with most current and retired Air Force types.

The failure to take seriously reports of this nature and the message it sends will result in a one-term presidency. The signatories of this statement are not typically politically active, and, most assuredly, they are not traditional Democrats. Anyone who thinks that Generals McPeak or Hoar may be dismissed as merely expressing ideology is either displaying unrelenting and unthinking ignorance or is simply blinded by his own ideological intensity. Once I got to Admiral Crowe's name I stopped..... that Clinton sucking p#@$k has about as much credibility as Hitler addressing a "Human Rights" conference.
Either follow sponsorship, corporate board membership or both. Follow the money... even a Marine General can be "flipped"... look at Zinni. Saw him on C-Span with Clancy... Jesus Christ.... the term "useful idiot" comes to mind.
I've been trying to figure out Zinni's motives and I think I got a glimpse when he went on for about 5 minutes about how Flag officers aren't allowed to keep on the job for 3-4 years and that all that experience is "lost" and then they have to retire.... I think this guy was "allowed" to retire and is hacked off.
