@mikebrase5161 He failed to fix a extremely broken institution. It was broken for decades before he got there. Nothing about that was his fault. It’s like telling a mechanic to fix a broken down car, but he can’t use any tools and diagnostic equipment or replace any parts. He should have refused the appointment, but his dedication led him to accept the responsibility.

The sacking part is not really true. He was already slated for retirement long before his testimony to Congress. I do think he was sidelined by Rumsfeld during the planning of the invasion and occupation because he wasn’t going along or getting along with Rumsfeld’s overly optimistic plans. And I really think this is why the Beret thing was amplified into as big a deal as it was and is to this day. Shinseki had to be smeared for contradicting Rumsfeld and his coterie of neocons.

@MirelleLaRouge he was responsible for all of them, was he? Or only some? Can you describe any details of the scandals for which he is responsible?

@afcgeo882 I’ve never heard that the Rangers were largely dismayed by the uniform change. It has always sounded like people looking for something to be outraged about, with others stoking the outrage because of politics. Fwiw, I remember hearing political pundits criticize BDUs as garrison uniform when it came out because it “looked sloppy” and that wearing such “pajamas” would destroy discipline and morale.

@cm-pr2ys Imagine . . . Imagining is easy. What you are imagining is not a feasible plan. It’s a fantasy.

@SlavicCelery What’s a “deaf argument”? Is that an army phrase?

@brianeleighton Truly horrible. A real fashion faux pas. Who knew grown men could be such frikkin’ divas about clothing?
