S2,

< [T]he Pentagon's military leaders … with few exceptions, acted timidly when their voices urgently needed to be heard>

It is about time and it does take real courage. I don't see Rumsfeld as any different than Macnamara - both of these guys got a lot of people killed and injured on both sides when it didn't need to happen.

Having said that, I wouldn't pin it all on the generals - the silence in both houses was deafening with the exception of a few voices.
