I'm watching retired Army General Tommy Franks on the Letterman show. My experience during my twenty years as an enlisted Sailor has led me to having limited respect for the bulk of military officers. There are some exceptions, and General Franks is one of them. He seems to me to have his head screwed on straight, and his priorities seem to be in the right place.

Just my opinion.

Update: Chief Warrant Officers are a different story, and command my respect by default.
