200 Retired Generals Lobby Against Iran Nuclear Deal

++There were about 95 that lobbied for it.

++Forget the Iranian deal,what do you do with 300 generals? That's about 300 General-sized pensions each year and we haven't won a war since WWII.

++Not even the old Latin military dictatorships had 300 generals, I know some of them. They are great people. Some are defense contractors, others on boards of defense firms, and still others made a sane choice and moved to beautiful rural areas in the West.

++Not all are conservative, some are very,very well-educated at Ivy League colleges on your dime. 

++As they will tell you themselves, they don't cut their own lawns. They have special healthcare and even their own golf courses.

++Shouldn't they have to reveal their conflicts of interests? It's sort of like the 200 top CEOs lobbying for corporate tax cuts.
