And I decided to look at a picture of General William Westmoreland. Seems like he was going the same way as Petraeus.



Petraeus



Westmoreland

For someone who said something about the medals earned, I am not trivializing the medals earned. I just found it interesting that Westmoreland (who said we won Vietnam) and Petraeus (who is saying we're winning Iraq) have similar number of chest candy while Eisenhower, one of the foremost heroes of WWII, only wears three pins in his official picture on Wikipedia (I'm certain he's won more pins).

Then again... I might disagree with you as Wesley Clark is similarly decorated.



(Just trying to find pictures of Wesley Clark wearing his service uniform other than his official photo is quite hard! Seems as soon as he retired, he stopped wearing his uniform)
