Why is Gen Hayden, CIA Chief, still in uniform?
Is he still in the Air Force getting paid as a Gen. & also drawing pay as CIA Chief?

What the Hell is going on with this?

Anyone know ?

1. the image of the military running the CIA is scary. on the other hand, maybe he
enjoys playing dress-up as much as his master does.

2. Maybe because he's on camera. I remember when Ollie North was testifying
and he was all spiffed up in his uniform. People who worked with him said they hadn't seen him wear his uniform in YEARS.

5. Honesty in advertising?
Because all the best dictatorships are doing it?
It discourages chickenhawk Republicans from asking inconvenient questions?
To stick it to Army, Navy, and Marines?

6. So far, no one knows.
I find it quite strange that he is allowed to keep wearing his uniform.
A person cannot have two paying jobs in this Govt. can they?

7. Yeah . . . isn't that scarey --- I've noticed it once or twice ---
The CIA has been a taboo subject too long now ---

Crowed with elites and f-u'd military thinking by fanatics ---
