Welcome to FreeRepublic.
1. This is a planned even by Democrats, they talked about it months ago. They went around and found all the retired military members they could that were on their side (fellow believers) and willing to spout their talking points. Now they are coming out.
2. How many retired generals are their total? These generals who agreed to be part of the Democrat campaign (and there is no way do deny that is what this is given 1) represent what percent of retired Generals? 15%, 2%?, 0.1%? What percent?
3. On another thread one of these generals was shown to be part of a Left-Wing democrat think tank. In other words being paid specifically to spout anti-Republican talking points.
4. Several of these Generals have been fired by Rumsfield, or have had their pet projects canceled by him, of course they are going to attack him. So what? Especially if they are even not a majority?

This should help you figure it out: In the Department of Defense there are:
34 - four star generals/admirals
124 - three star generals/admirals
278 - two star generals/admirals
439 - one star generals/admirals
Throw in the U.S. Coast Guard and you have 900 generals and admirals on active duty today. Each year 15-20% of those flag officers retire; some not by choice.
How many generals are saying these things? Five? Six? These generals have about the same weight in numbers as the LP Presidental candidates do.
