Watch closely the scene in JFK in which the general is seated behind his Pentagon desk. A three-quarters obscured nameplate is visible, but enough of "Edward G." is there for us to get Stone's hint.
Speaking of thinly disguised military suspects in the Kennedy hit, I'm reminded of Robert Morrow's First Hand Knowledge and the unnamed Air Force colonels he implicated in the plot.
Does the name O'Wighton Delk Simpson strike a familiar chord?
From the Mary Ferrell Database: Date of birth 8/27/11. Date of death 10/3/99. Attained rank of Lieutenant Colonel in 1945 (not promoted in 16 years – invited to retire). From 1948 to 1950 he was Chief of Intelligence, 5th Air Force, Japan; 1959-1961, Special Assistant to Commander-in-Chief Samuel E. Anderson, Air Material Command, Dayton, Ohio; 1961-63, in charge of industrial intelligence for Martin Aerospace; 1963-66, on Washington staff of Martin Marietta Corp.
Son, O'Wighton Delk Simpson, Jr., died "under suspicious circumstances" 12/31/82 in West Palm Beach, Florida, age 39. Son had claimed his father was "bagman" for Kennedy assassination. "Payoff" allegedly took place in Haiti.

Simpson worked closely, if below the radar screen, with LBJ's military counsel, Air Force Lt. Colonel Howard L. Burris, who died on January 3, 2009, at age 90. See John Newman's JFK and Vietnam for interesting details.
The Simpson saga is savagely fascinating for oh so many reasons -- not the least of which are connections to the perfidy of Gus Russo and the death of Bernard "Bud" Fensterwald.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
