Save Our Generals

I am very concerned about the fate of all these retired generals doing television time as a result of the war. What will ever become of them when the war is over? Who will care and feed for our generals! I figure (and I have no data to back this up yet) each network, Fox news, CNN and MSNBC has about four or five former generals each for an estimated total of 30 or so Field Grade officer casting opinions and speculations on the Iraqi war. With the war quickly nearing an end and no real indication that the war will be taken across the border to Syria, much to the network’s chagrin, I just hope against hope that they don’t leave these stalwart soldiers hanging slowly in the wind and take steps to take care of these brave men and women who gave up tee times and sweet positions on America’s corporate board of directors in order to make this war more palatable for all of us.
Wag your flags and save a general today.
