I know that at least the first part is true. However Gen Shensiski (sp) was "fired" and stayed in place for over a year, and continually dissed. The other Generals were dissed and ignored, and left no choice but to retire. "Up or Out"
Gen Zinni (sp) is one who comes to mind.
Don't you believe it.
General Sheneski simply completed his full term as Chief of the Joint Chiefs and retired as he had announced and scheduled it in April 2002. His differences over troop levels did not occur until 2003.
The other Generals were dissed and ignored, and left no choice but to retire. "Up or Out"
Gen Zinni (sp) is one who comes to mind.
General Zinni delivered his retirement speech during March 2000. He was long gone from the scene.
What other General Officers do you think were purged?
