    Generals get shuffled. They answer to political figures in our system, and we shouldn't kow tow to them. Good thing you guys weren't around during the Civil War, Lincoln went through Generals like shit through a pig. That's what happens.

    The more important thing re: the Obama administration was keeping Robert Gates on staff as SecDef. that should clue you in to the fact that there wasn't really going to be any major policy changes from Bush in regards to military policy in SE Asia.
