If the agreement to speak out occurs before the retirement, I suppose a conspiracy case can be made out. I don't know any military law, so cannot be positive.

The real problem is not the law nor the way the dissatisfaction is handled but the fact that these guys are so united against Rumsfeld's ways that they are willing to speak out as boldly as they have.

They deserve to be heard, not squelched.

I frankly didn't like the way Shinseki was treated, which may account for some of the dissatisfaction. But serious and professional military men argued with a great deal of weight that more troops should have been in Iraq.

I think a great many of our present problems may have been avoided if Rumsfeld had not micromanaged the number of troops issue. It was also a huge mistake to send the Iraqi army home after the war.
