If there are generals currently in the service who are planning something like what Blankley's article alludes to, it borders on sedition. There's "planning" and then there's "plotting." It seems reasonable to me that, when generals get together for drinks and cigars, they talk about the boss just as we all do. It's reasonable for them to discuss what they think about current policies and about the feasibility of various strategies influencing them. It's reasonable for them to draw conclusions individually and collaboratively as a function of this feedback process about if, how, and when it would be useful and/or appropriate to air their discontent. And it's also to be expected that they would have a pretty good sense of what their peers have in mind to do or not do (and that Holbrook or anyone else might have a good sense of it). In this way they are no different from GM executives or low level grousers. Just because a bunch of them speak up after retirement isn't remotely evidence of a conspiracy. It may be simply that they are similarly situated and thus react similarly. You would need direct testimony from some participants to show a conspiracy.
