I find this interesting.
Increasing numbers of retired generals and officers have begun to call for the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld in his role as the Secretary of Defense. Says Maj. Gen. Charles H. Swannack Jr.:
No active duty officers have joined the motion, due to reasons of solidarity and the fact that such a statement would be illegal under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. According to the New York Times:
"...I do not believe Secretary Rumsfeld is the right person to fight that war based on his absolute failures in managing the war against Saddam in Iraq."
No active duty officers have joined the motion, due to reasons of solidarity and the fact that such a statement would be illegal under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. According to the New York Times:
"I support my secretary of defense," Lt. General John Vines, who commands the Army's 18th Airborne Corps, said when questioned after a speech in Washington on Thursday about the calls for Mr. Rumsfeld to step down. "If I publicly disagree with my civilian leadership, I think I've got to resign. My advice should be private."
