Wash. Post editorial drew false comparison between generals' Rumsfeld criticisms, troops' hatred of Clinton's position on gays in military

SUMMARY: A Washington Post editorial drew a false comparison between the recent calls by several retired generals for Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld to resign and the "pushback of uniformed military against President Bill Clinton's attempt to allow gays to serve." The generals who have publicly called for Rumsfeld's resignation are retired; conversely, a March 13, 1993, Post article described active-duty troops' hatred for Clinton's intention to lift the ban on gays in the military.
