Egg On the Generals Face

Colin Powell of Obama's many initiatives: "..we can't pay for it all,"--Gen. Colin Powell 2009

"The federal government has become too large and too intrusive in our lives," Mr. Powell said then. "We can no longer afford solutions to our problems that result in more entitlements, higher taxes to pay for them, more bureaucracy to run them, and fewer results to show for it." --Gen. Colin Powell 1996 Rep Convention

So successful Generals don't always have good judgement.
