Another version of the story: Four-star Army general suspended after pressuring panel over unfit officer

In the assessment, the process is completely blind, where five generals are pulled at random to interview an unnamed candidate hidden behind a curtain. Officers claim this is to avoid any bias. The assessment also consists of a physical fitness test, examinations of communication skills, and psychological evaluations.

Wow, that seems excessive. What issues did the Army have that required initiating this kind of process?

A female officer. Probably bit of hanky-panky going on.

Just an observation.....the General appears to be of a certain ethnicity......so that makes me wonder how HIS career may have been assisted. 🤔

I saw the same thing with a female chaplain back in the 1990's. She was moved from base to base because she was a terrible chaplain, and officer, yet higher command tried to promote her, using her as the "poster child" for female officers.

When she showed up at the base I was stationed at, no one liked her, she persecuted me because I was a "renegade Methodist" (she was United Methodist, I was Free Methodist), she treated the Catholic priest terribly (and he was the nicest guy you could ever meet), and after a year the the wing commander finally demanded that HQ SAC move her out, "or else." He was one commander no one messed with, and she was shipped to Hickam AB. When one of our other chaplains found out he was being assigned there, he turned it down and requested to be assigned somewhere else, all because she was there.

So yeah, I can totally believe this article.

The fact the article only refers to the woman as: “The lieutenant colonel” tells us how infected the Army bureaucracy is with wokeness and DEI stupidity.

A lot of Americans will die because of it.

Gen. Charles Hamilton's actions gave aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

This makes me think of how Paul Fussel defined chickenshit.
Chickenshit refers to behavior that makes military life worse than it need be: petty harassment of the weak by the strong; open scrimmage for power and authority and prestige; sadism thinly disguised as necessary discipline; a constant 'paying off of old scores'; and insistence on the letter rather than the spirit of ordinances.

Chickenshit can be recognized instantly because it never has anything to do with winning the war.
