		Shinseki was known as a quiet, reserved officer, while Rumsfeld is noted for his tough questioning and "wire-brushing" of senior officers.

		Shinseki's own statement is that he was forced into retirement, though not necessarily over the specific question of troop requirements in Iraq.

	frontline: the invasion of iraq: interviews: james fallows \| PBS
		Shinseki of the Army drew not only on his experience in the Balkans, trying to administer a fractious region postwar.
		Shinseki's last, say, year and a half in office was a series of apparently calculated and intentional insults from the civilian leadership, especially Donald Rumsfeld.
		The public rebuke of Shinseki by Wolfowitz was probably the most direct public dressing-down of a military officer, a four-star general, by a civilian superior since Harry Truman and Douglas MacArthur, 50 years ago.

		Shinseki is protected by a Democratic senator who may be grooming him to take over his own seat in the Senate in the next few years.
		Shinseki is not as smooth or attractive a candidate as Wesley Clark, but he may soon be a candidate nonetheless.
		Shinseki's successor as Army chief of staff was announced about a year ago, yet he remains at his desk, almost daring the administration to fire him.

		Shinseki's job as a forward observer was to "hump the field" with his platoon until they encountered the enemy, and then to radio back the location coördinates to the artillery battery, which would deliver cannon fire from its howitzers.
		Shinseki had meant the berets to unify the Army behind transformation, "to drive down the walls within the institution." The Rangers, Shinseki now concedes, in a characteristic understatement, "were very vocal" in their opposition.
		Shinseki was a Clinton appointee, and the beret decision seemed another insult to the military culture by the "pencil-pushing, boot-licking, sycophantic desk jockeys in the Pentagon who have genuflected in the direction of the Draft Dodger these long eight years," as one Web posting phrased it.

		As I mentioned in the column, Shinseki's grandfather was a Japanese who grew up in Hiroshima and later migrated to Hawaii during the early part of the 20th century working on the pineapple and sugarcane plantations there.
		Shinseki's tour of duty as chief of staff was marked by clashes with Pentagon officials specifically Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz.
		Shinseki went on record mentioning some 200,000 troops, a figure Wolfowitz publicly dismissed as "wildly off the mark." As things now stand, it would appear that Shinseki was not too far off the mark.

	Ex-general Shinseki on BancWest board - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		Eric Shinseki, the first Hawai'i native and first Asian American to attain the rank of four-star general and lead the Army as its chief of staff, has been named to the board of directors of BancWest Corp., the parent company of First Hawaiian Bank.
		Shinseki's 38-year Army career ended last year after he repeatedly clashed with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, particularly over Shinseki's pre-war estimate that hundreds of thousands of troops would be needed to occupy Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein.
		Shinseki became chief of staff in June 1999 and helped lead the military as it responded to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and in the war in Afghanistan and the war with Iraq.

	Eric Shinseki - SourceWatch
		Shinseki and Rumsfeld have had a famously frosty relationship, and several Army officials say that with Rumsfeld at the helm, the post of chief of staff is not exactly coveted.
		Nevertheless, Shinseki and others have made it clear that the decision to announce his successor more than a year before his planned retirement undercut his authority and reflected sharp disagreements between his and Donald Rumsfeld's vision of the Defense Department - disagreements which were not limited to specific troop projections for the Iraq War.
		This immediately made Shinseki a lame duck and undercut his ambitious 'transformation' agenda, which he had set forth in late 1999."

		Shinseki retired from more than 37 years of active service at a ceremony on Fort Myer, Va., June 11.
		The secretary touched on Shinseki's vision of Transformation to give the Army a more deployable, lighter, mobile and lethal force in the near term and the future when the meaning of Transformation was relatively unknown within the Department of Defense.
		Most of Shinseki's remarks centered on the accomplishment of soldiers -- "They've never let me down" -- and thanking a host of people including former bosses, members of Congress, members of his staff and professional correspondents who have helped tell the public about what great soldiers the Army has.

	General Shinseki’s Plan to Abolish the Tank for armored cars by 2012 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Shinseki said the Army must be more deployable, lethal, agile, versatile, survivable and sustainable to meet the needs of the nation.
		General Shinseki’s ambitious time schedule for completing development of the FCS seems to be problematic largely due to the fact that the technology to build it does not yet exist.
		Shinseki’s plan to lighten the force makes sense only within the context of making the underequipped light forces heavier and more survivable even while preserving the heavy tank and mechanized brigades without which many in the Army readily admit no war can be won.

		CHIEF OF STAFF MUST GO If Eric Shinseki was CEO of a Fortune 500 company and had the record of repeated failure that he has accumulated as Army Chief of Staff, he would have been fired a long time ago.
		Shinseki’s dictate that all Army personnel - from cooks to company clerks - don the sacred fl beret, until now a symbol of excellence only available to Army Rangers who earned the right to wear it, was billed as a “morale booster.” Instead, it turned into an unmitigated disaster.
		Shinseki would grant their “request,” and thus the “heat” would be off the general.
