What do you think of General Shinseki's career?

It's a lot of baloney that the government are making him the "scape goat" for this incident. Unless he has a crystal ball in his pocket he can't see everything going on at every VA hospital/clinic, nobody can! I met him when he was my USAREUR commander in Germany when he replaced Gen. Crouch and my unit had a SATCOM terminal positioned next to his office during Operation Joint Endeavour/Constant Endeavour and he would stop by our site to talk to the soldiers on shift.

Now, our government is pulling an "Ollie" on him (if you know our military history you know what I mean).

GEN(R) Shinseki is an outstanding officer and gentleman. He was an outstanding Commander at all levels and was dedicated to making change when it was necessary and didn't stop when people told him differently. No different in this job, but he has been hindered by a horrible system that did not give him the power to properly form the organization. He is a victim of circumstance and of the political process. If you want it changed, he's the man for the job, but you have to give him the tools to do so...and the administration DID NOT.

MAJ Chang,
I remember that last time. He said 350K and was forced into early retirement by the Bush administration. (They should have listened to him). He is an Honorable Soldier and will be missed
