#1 This business with retiring mil brass is starting to look very Turkish. Time for a pool on who Erdogan, oops, I mean Obama, will squeeze next.

#2 The problem with this approach is that unlike a lot of other military, this one relies upon its effectiveness through the middle grades. You can put your loyal boot lickers, but soon to be frag catchers, in the top of the organizational diagram but that doesn't mean the ranks will be there to be your thugs when the time comes.

#4 Heh. B, it's what happens when the Achievement Medal, Commendation Medal, etc become nothing more than a completion of tour medal issued by rank rather than impact awards for performance.

#8 Someone asked a few days ago why Obama appoints second-rate people to important posts. He wants Hacks, yes-men who are only interested in pleasing the President. I wonder who his yes-man will be.

#9 Toonces theory?
Putting someone so absurdly incapable of being in the drivers seat so that when they drive the car over the cliff, the blame slides right off because s/he was expected, nay, required to have a big wreck. Then the media can sit back and say, "Ahhh, Toonces!" - if anything at all is said.
