The Text:
George Bush: I have always said that I will listen to the requests of our Commanders on the ground.
General Batiste: Mr. President, you did not listen. You continued to pursue a failed strategy that is breaking our great Army and Marine Corps. I left the Army in protest in order to speak out. Mr. President, you have placed our nation in peril. Our only hope is that Congress will act now to protect our fighting men and women.

Not that it matters, but the "correct" way of referring to his rank, service, and retirement status would be "Major General John Batiste, U.S. Army (Ret.) Speaks Out". The U.S. Army doesn't go into parentheses just because the man retired.
Admiral;
Yes, it does matter. I'll change it now.
THANKS
