He hasn’t enough respect for the Military to bother to find out the proper designation. But doesn’t he just LOVE to take credit when they work their magic while he is CiC!

Interesting article especially considering the big scar on Obama’s head.
At least he didn’t say ‘corpse-man’ this time.
How come your excerpt has nothing to do with the headline?
Hey Daily Mail, care to validate that first sentence with some concrete EXAMPLES???/s;)
*President’s latest slip-up was calling Admiral William McRaven a general
*Comes days after he and Ohio State University students spelled Ohio ‘O-I-H-O’
He didn’t make that mistake. Others made it happen. In particular, all those people who write what appears on his teleprompter. Obama couldn’t have made that mistake without them.
‘I’d advise that you talk to General McRaven, who’s in charge of our Special Ops. I think he has a point of view in terms of how deeply
I care about what these folks do each and every day to protect our freedom.’
The difficulty with this is that William McRaven is and admiral not a general.
As a SEAL, he is member of the US Navy, not US Army or US Marines.
Obama has made mistakes with military terminology before. In February 2010, he mispronounced ‘corpsman’ – as ‘corpse-man’ instead of ‘core-man’ several times.
Last year, he mixed up two Medal of Honor recipients, saying that ‘Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honour to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously’.
>> Barack Obama has always been known for his silken words, soaring rhetoric and ability to use language to his advantage.
Insert Reuters’ TOTUS pic here.
Tell that to the Navy "corpse-men"
