This lady should be head of the VA.
What I was saying. There were lots of military that went into politics and were successful. It seems that those snowflakes out there are hyper sensitive to any military being in government.
If they are retired, they are not on Active Duty. They are civilians!
“General” in this case is an honorific, rather like using “Mr. President” or “Mr. Speaker” when addressing those who formerly held those offices. Former Presidents are no longer “the President”.
...stating that the generals are far more invested in serving the country then they are themselves.
