Extensions aren't mandatory, nor has one been used for any CSA since
1964,
including during Vietnam.

Picky...picky...picky! Admiral Vern Clark, our present Chief of Naval
Operations, is presently serving on a two year extension to his four year
term
of office.

An extension which occurred AFTER the time frame of the argument in
question.

It doesn't matter one bit, for the purposes of this discussion,
whether the flag officer concerned is a Naval officer or an Air Force
officer or
an Army officer. If an extension is available to one of them during an
undeclared war, it's available to all of the others.

Apparently not. Get over it.


Under those
circumstances, you may not think he was fired, but I'd bet a bucket of
warm spit
that Shinseki thinks he was.

Yes, please tell us what Shinseki thinks. Perhaps a link to his opinion
would help.

A flag officer I know thinks he was and, further,
says that most flag officers see it that way.

So you differ with them.....but they made flag rank and you and I made
what???

I know the definition of "fired" and he doesn't fit it.

Are you trying to tell us that you know how those things work better
than
the
ones who are directly involved? If so, then I give up because I can't
argue
with such arrogance.

Speaking of arrogance . . .

I do give up. You surely are convinced that you know more about it than
they
do. Oh, well.....

No, just more than YOU.
