Speaking of retirement, how about former army Chief of Staff Eric Shinseki who was 'retired' by the Bush administration partially over this:
"When Shinseki testified earlier this year before a congressional panel that securing postwar Iraq would require hundreds of thousands of troops, Pentagon leaders publicly called his estimate "wildly off the mark." The absence of anyone from the Office of the Secretary of Defense at Shinseki's June retirement was widely noticed." - Boston Globe
Not to mention the 'retirement' of Army Secretary Thomas White.
