2.  Shinseki retired in 2003 after becoming disgusted with the administration
I wish we heard more from him as a civilian voice but I haven't heard a peep.

3. Probably can't talk if he wanted to.
I'd bet he's prohibited in some way.

7. There are "ways" to "retire" someone
Shinseki "fell on his sword" because he knew that once he spoke out, his life would be HELL if he stayed.
