Re: Yes, we do . . .
This is more undermining Brit-speak, Tom.
In July 1997, in protest over administration policy, 24 military Generals retired. As a last ditch effort to address the issues of preparedness, and overall conditions of the military as a whole, these 24 Generals went to see Defense Sec. Wm. Cohen. After getting nowhere they all resigned.
Old generals don't retire, they just stay on the active retirement list.
There's a lot of expertise and logistical support capabilities in this country. All we need to do is ask for it.
