How do you feel about the Generals supporting the Iran Nuclear plan. Do you think they understand the agreement better because they are Generals? My thoughts are, if they can understand the agreement and Obama's plan for the long haul, they're smarter than all of us.
Three dozen retired generals and admirals released an open letter Tuesday supporting the Iran nuclear deal and urging Congress to do the same.
Calling the agreement “the most effective means currently available to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons,” the letter said that gaining international support for military action against Iran, should that ever become necessary, “would only be possible if we have first given the diplomatic path a chance.”

Shenanigans! I'm not buying it. How can they (or anyone) back a deal that has provisos hidden in other "secret" agreements? Nope, this is not kosher, not kosher at all...

Agreed, Captain Jack. I don't trust any of the Middle Eastern countries, but especially not Iran.

The deal to me, based on what has been revealed, is about as smart as releasing 5 terrorists for one deserter.

Yes Sir Capt (Join to see), It sounds about as dumb as that deal does. 5 for 1, and no mention of including the 4 they have, in the deal. It would still be a bad deal if they did let the four hostages go, but at least they would be home. I'd like to hear what they would have to say about the deal. I'll bet they know nothing about it, unless they were told to try and turn them against America.

No these retired flag officers are not correct SGT (Join to see). I wonder how many of them are employed in lobbying the defense industry, DoD and the U.S. Congress. I would expect many of them are.
The letter encourages supporting the agreement thereby "gaining international support for military action against Iran, should that ever become necessary" as opposed to pressuring Iran for what it has already done to advance terror in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen to name but a few areas. This reminds me of Neville Chamberlain's "Peace in our time" statement after the accord he signed the Munich accord with Hitler in September 1938.

LTC Stephen F., They are retired. How can they back this agreement if they weren't in on it? Your explanation makes more sense to me. They're puppets for the administration, agreeing whether they support it or not.
