The About.comBerets - Should the President/Congress be Involved?

The pet project of the Army Chief of Staff Gen. Eric K. Shinseki has drawn a firestorm of criticism from those who say letting all soldiers wear the revered black beret dishonors those who worked hard to earn the honor.

Shinseki has said the beret would instill the sense of pride among the entire Army that has long been associated with the Rangers.

Protests by Ex-Rangers have brought this issue to the attention of the President and Congress, who indicate they may get involved with this decision.

Do you think the President of the United States and/or Congress should get involved with an internal decision made by the Army Chief of Staff?
