The Bush administration has “absolutely been the worst thing that’s happened" to the military

good thing you're retired, paul... still, i'd keep an eye out for any skulduggery with your pension...

“We are in the midst of recovering right now from a constitutional crisis where you had the executive trump the other branches of government,” [Retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton, who was in charge of training the Iraqi military from 2003 to 2004,] said. “Thank god” Congress changed hands in November, he said, giving us “a chance to unsort and figure out how to get out from under this.”

Eaton lamented that so many service members believe that conservatives “are good for the military.” “That is rarely the case. And we have got to get a message through to every soldier, every family member, every friend of soldier,” that the Bush administration and its allies in Congress have “absolutely been the worst thing that’s happened to the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps.”

ok, good words... brave words, in fact... but... we are FAR from recovering... VERY FAR... the constitutional crisis is as present and as threatening as it was before the elections, possibly more so...
