       Mass Resignation of Generals who Oppose Clinton Military Policies 

       WHERE HAVE THE GENERALS GONE?

       SUMMARY: While we were all asleep listening to scintillating tales of 
       gropings and trouser droppings by our fearless leader, our sharp as a 
       cue-ball "National Media" failed to notice the mass resignation of two 
       dozen General officers. The Japanese have a phrase for this sort of thing; 
       roughly translated it means "Killing it with silence." 

       By "Buffalo Six" 

       I had a very interesting ride on a company (UAL) DC10 yesterday into 
       Chicago. The F/E was a retired USAF BG - '61 USAFA (with his ring on), 
       Vietnam Thuds (shot-down once) and one of the original Viper guys at 
       Hill. 

       He said that in 1997 twenty-four (24) Generals retired early (all on July 7th 
       1997) in mass protest over the conditions in the military (due to the 
       administration's policies). They had fought in vain to correct PC, ops 
       tempo, deployments everywhere, readiness and pay, so they ALL went to 
       Sec Cohen's office and resigned. 

       Cohen and the White House told them that they knew what they were up to 
       and they would not let them get the publicity they desired. He said they 
       were threatened with courts martial and their non-disclosure statement (the 
       form we all sign saying we won't discuss classified stuff after we're out) 
       was changed to include a requirement that they not discuss their 
       resignations or face punishment and loss of retirement benefits.
