The Generals, again

What else do I always say? "Let the Generals run the fucking war." From Reuters. General Richard Cody before Congress today. I'd like to point out that he doesn't call himself Dick.

[. . .]

Gen. Richard Cody, the Army's vice chief of staff, said active and reserve forces were "stretched thin," but the Army was "rapidly trying to rebuild the surge capability" it would need to deal with another contingency.

Full Story.

From the Fixer-man a month ago:

As I've been yelling about since we went to Iraq, WE'RE STRETCHED TOO THIN. Fucking civilian geniuses in the White House and at the Pentagon think they know better than the generals how to run an army. They act like little boys. I'll bet Bush has said more than once, "But it worked on TV." Fucking assholes.

Maybe if ONE of the morons in civilian leadership positions at the Pentagon had done a little time in the fucking military, it might be bloody obvious to them too. Jesus H. Christ.
