My gosh, I entered the Army in 85 and would now be an 05 if I had stayed in.

This lady is a LEUTENANT GENERAL! Talk about career path promotion.

She’s 50 and a three star?

That’s got to be a record.

Unreal.

“That’s got to be a record.”

Just like when you get on the trolley car: Tokens are required.

They have some minor disagreements as to the best way to destroy the West. Tactical, not strategical debates.

She's not a Lieutenant General, she's a Major General.

You beat me to it. An affirmative action General, leading thee troops under an affirmative action Commander in Chief.

Her specialty is refueling. His specialty is Communist agitation and winning elections by pulling the rug out from under the opposition with the help of crooked judges and the Chicago Mafia.

Wonderful. God bless our troops. And—get them out of there!
