I just thought this was interesting. I'm not an expert on this topic, but it's interesting no less.

Interesting indeed. Obviously, Scales must be a die-hard Republican now and his opinion can be summarily dismissed.

LOL

That's why its so hard to believe anything anyone, with alterior motives, has to say.

What you will find is that those who agreed with Scales initial assertions that the Army was broken will soon be implying (if not flat out stating) that Scales has only reversed his position because somehow "that moron of a president" has made him do so.

I am willing to bet we will soon hear that since Scales is retired, his opinion is no longer valid and it will degenerate from there. I have a list of posters I think will go down that road. It will be interesting to see which of them will go first.
