George doesn't need no stinkin' generals. Especially if they might be tasked with tightening the reins on his ability to load up the pockets of his (and Cheney's) rich contractor friends.

I mean it would add to payroll costs for heaven's sake, a brigadier general costs about $217,000 a year in pay, benefits and retirement contributions; a major general costs $261,000 annually.

Bush's motto is..."Oversight? We don't need no stinkin' oversight!"

Hillary Clinton Talks Military Strength In Fayetteville

Thursday she campaigned in Fayetteville, the home of the Army's Fort Bragg, and in Asheville. Friday she will will be in Jacksonville, near the Camp LeJeune marine corps base.

“We need a commander-in-chief who is ready on day one to keep our country safe,” said Clinton, who spoke under a banner that read: “SOLUTIONS FOR A STRONG MILITARY.”

Below is what I sent in an email to IAVA and others. How does it make you feel? What are your thoughts?

I and some others just saw your new video.

We are not happy.

I have been a big supporter of IAVA and Paul Rieckhoff. I am also a big Wes Clark supporter and when you do things like this it makes me question my support.

Why is this video a good thing? Seems like something the righties would put together.

With all that goes on with women in the military getting raped, mistreated, etc. ... why is it a good thing for IAVA to sex up war? To use women in a sexist way?

I served in the Army. I love my Country. I have opposed this war from the beginning. I knew that Saddam was contained and I knew that the case for war was trumped up by the Bush Administration. I knew that Democrats voted for the Resolution in 2002 purely based on popular opinion, politics, and job security.
I despised them for it.
