Who are these generals that support McCain??
When McCain said he had over 200 generals endorsing him after Colin Powell endorsed Obama. What the hell was he talking about? I dont remember any generals coming out to talk about McCain (in a positive way). I do however remember the 20 Generals and Admirals at the DNC that endorsed Obama.

That's what you get from a guy who thinks "partisan" means all the republicans and joe lieberman.

4. They have to be retired generals if they openly endorse a candidate.
I don't know of any that have openly endorsed McCain...Officers in the military are not allowed to be political in any fashion..

5. One of them is General Buck Turgidson
The one who said: Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say... no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops.

9. Reality mimicking art?
Buck Turgidson was fictional (tho' probably based on Curtis LeMay"). Boykin is nearly as laughable in a morbid kind of way.

10. Boykin reminds me of a Vonnegut character that got loose somehow --
Howard Campbell Jr. only on cable. :)
