Fmr. JCC Myers Calls Rumsfeld Critiques "Dangerous"

Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Richard Myers appeared on Weekend Live with Tony Snow, where he said that the current situation of retired generals critiquing their civilian superiors is "fundamentally dangerous" and "inappropriate."

Myers said that he has respect for the 6 former generals who have recently criticized Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, but he cannot figure out what the motivation is for them coming out now. While Myers said he wouldn't go so far as to call it "unethical," he made it clear that it was not "healthy" or appropriate for the military or the country.

(By the way, there are approximately 9,000 retired generals in the U.S., yet an outspoken 6 seem to the media to be the overwhelming majority.)
