    What do you do with a General?

    I just watched "White Christmas" last night, in which Bing Crosby sings a corny song (okay, the whole movie is corny) in which he asks "what do you do with a General when he stops being a General?" as if they're all put out to pasture. HA! Now we have the answer to Bing's question. You turn them into shills for companies who make a living from killing and destruction. Dwight was right.
