Please, can we stop calling this faker a general? He’s no more a US Army (retired) General than Colonel Sanders was a real Colonel.
What is his title if not Brig. General???
He was made a “general” by the California Guard on his retirement from the “real” National Guard. He can’t wear his general’s star outside of Cali, and he is not paid retirement as a general. The CalGuard is not recognized as part of the National Guard. Only the gov. of Cali can call it up, to deal with in state emergencies. His title of general is strictly an honorific.
The guy is just full of BS, shading the truth to tell a lie. For example, he said, “I wore the uniform for 43 years” or words to that effect. Total BS. He got out of active duty in 1960 (!!!!!) and served as a weekend warrior or even less, as a member of the nondrilling “individual ready reserve” for the next 26 years. If you added up his weekends and 2 weeks per year in uniform (this is how retirement pay for reservists is figured) it MIGHT add up to ten years, total. So his saying “I wore the uniform for 43 years” is another partial truth and entire lie.
One more “half truth-complete lie.” All of the MSM this faker is being called a “retired Army general.” He never was a general (not even in the CalGuard, much less the US Army or National Guard) while he served. He was given the honorific “general” ON his retirement. So he was only a fake CalGuard “general” AFTER he retired.
So how can he be a “retired Army general?” He would have had to serve in the Army as a general to be so described honestly.
Did he have his General Star on at the debate???
Yep, little ole’ Andy is a well known queer...
He was in a civilian suit. There are only limited venues where retirees are allowed to wear their uniforms.
And under no circumstance is his “CalGuard” general’s star valid outside of California.
On Thursday or Friday morning (I think Friday) Jim Quinn said on the air he got an e-mail from one of his Washington contacts who said Cooper is indeed gay and the homosexual angle to the questioning of the candidates was Cooper's call, okayed by CNN.
I’d like to see a new SNL skit:
“Quien es mas macho? Anderson Cooper or Shepard Smith?
So I guess he would be a PHONY SOLDIER, I was under the impression that it was illegal to impersonate an officer of the Armed Forces. But never fear Arnold Kennedy Shriver will do nothing about it, for he admires sodomites. But seriously I think he should be prosecuted for this Blatent Fraud,then stripped of all retirement benefits.
“So I guess he would be a PHONY SOLDIER”
If nothing else, he is blatantly dishonest. During the time he served, homosexuals were specifically prohibited from enlisting. Yet he consciously and knowingly lied on every for he signed to get in. So from his first day in the armed forced, he was already a certified liar.

Is he not a retired American General? I had not heard that.
I suspect CNN regards this debate as a win.
>>CNN Boasts Record Debate Ratings
By Katharine Q. Seelye
The CNN debate last night was the most-watched debate this primary
season on either a broadcast network or cable channel, drawing 4,036,000 viewers, according to CNN; Nielsen has verified the numbers.
The ratings also broke the record for all primaries ever shown on cable television, Christa Robinson, a CNN spokeswoman, said.<<
Nope, he’s not. He’s was made a “general” in the CalGuard, which is NOT affiliated with the U.S. National Guard, upon his retirement. In fact, he left active duty in 1960! He only served as a weekend warrior thereafter, during an era (unlike today) when the Guard was a joke, and did nothing except hang around one weekend a month and 2 weeks in the summer.
His “general” rank is only recognized in California in the CalGuard, he can’t wear the insignia outside of California, and he is not listed by the US Army as a general.
His “I wore the uniform for 43 years” is also a lie masquerading as a half truth. The way guard retirement is figured, those weekends plus 2 weeks a year are added up day by day to compute “years” of service toward retirement. All of his guard days combined plus his original 4 years of active duty might have added up to ten total years “in uniform.”
At the debate, he clearly intended to misinform, and the audience bought his mis-truths. He was not, as he intended to portray himself, a real US Army Brigadier General who spent 43 years in the Army. He parsed his lies well, so very few would understand the truty.
In short, this faker never spent ONE DAY serving as a General in the US Army or National Guard. His bogus CalGuard “generalship” was an honorific granted on his retirement.

Thank you. I had no idea.
