‘Incompetent’ referred to Sutton, not to Winter...Go back please and read my post carefully.

But if dereliction of duty/ political croneyism applies, then...if the shoe fits...

I accept your explanation, but suggest in the future that you work harder at your grammar. Here is what you actually wrote:
an incompetent nincompoop of which POTUS seems to have appointed a few—such as: Secretary of the Navy-Donald C.Winter, former CEO FATCAT of Northrup-Grummon with ties to Murtha- mentioned here the other night in re the Haditha Trial thread...
The sentence fragment clearly says that POTUS appointed a few incompetent nincompoops, and that the Secretary of the Nave was an example of one -- that's what "such as" means.

I don't believe there is any other valid way to read that.
