It seems that Gay Keith, the Clinton plant, was not a Brigadier General and he served only in the reserves. I received this note from retired Brigadier General William Becker:
IN SPITE OF MY CURRENT DISTRACTIONS AT HOME I AM FORCED TO ENTER THE PUBLIC ARENA TO EXPRESS MY OUTRAGE AT THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN DEBATE AS MANAGED BY CNN.
GAY KEITH IS NOT A BRIGADIER GENERAL. HE IS NOT EVEN AN ACTIVE DUTY RETIRED ARMY OFFICER. HE SPENT HIS YEARS AS A RESERVIST SOLELY IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA MILITARY BUREAUCRACY. HIS BIO IS PUBLISHED IN THE GAY ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO VOIDING THE "DON'T ASK DON'T TELL" POLICY.
FOR DETAILS. YOU MUST NOTE THAT KERR WAS RETIRED FROM THE INACTIVE ARMY RESERVES IN THE GRADE OF COLONEL. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW YEARS SERVED ON ACTIVE DUTY AS A LIEUTENANT HIS ENTIRE SERVICE WAS IN THE RESERVES IN CALIFORNIA. HE WAS PLACED IN RETIRED RESERVE STATUS WITH THE CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD RESERVES AND PROMOTED TO BRIGADIER GENERAL IN THAT FEDERALLY UNRECOGNIZED STATUS.
THIS IS CONSIDERED AN "HONORARY" TITLE SIMILAR TO THE PHD AWARDED BY UNIVERSITIES AS HONORARIUM. WE WOULD NEVER REFER TO SUCH AWARDEES AS "DOCTOR". IT IS ALSO NOTEWORTHY THAT HE WAS A GRADUATE OF UC BERKELEY AND
SERVED AS AN INSTRUCTOR IN ACADEMIA. HE HAS NO COMBAT EXPERIENCE DURING HIS 43 YEARS OF "SERVICE" AND IT IS A DISGRACE FOR HIM TO BE ASSOCIATED BY THE MEDIA WITH THE ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY!!!!
THANKS FOR LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF WRATH OF THIS OLD MILITARY AVIATOR. BRIGADIER GENERAL BILL BECKER UNITED STATES AIR FORCE, RETIRED COMBAT VETERAN WWII, KOREA, VIETNAM

>Thanks... I got it in a forward with no source..

If this turns out to be real...
Holy (insert bad word here)!!!!
Hillary’s plant plot is unraveling and the Dems continue to look foolish. I had thought this man had served in combat. This whole thing would be even more funny if it’s true.
Ping.

and the actual article at Human Events:
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=23698
“Campenni told HUMAN EVENTS that Kerr is not even a retired Army General.
“He retired as a California Army National Guard colonel,” said Campenni. “It is common at Guard retirement ceremonies to give an honorary promotion to colonels to the STATE rank of Brigadier General”[but] it has no meaning other than a fancy certificate for the wall and use of the title at local Guard functions.”
Campenni said the rank of general is not federally recognized and the title can not be used or the rank worn outside the state. “

AND there is more:
From his bio, at the SDLN (the organization that is suing the gov to allow openly homosexuals to serve in the military):
http://www.sldn.org/templates/about/record.html?section=81&record=1151
“Brigadier General Keith H. Kerr entered the U. S. Army as a Private at Fort Ord, California, on 21 September 1953. After completing basic and advanced training, he served with the 513th Military Intelligence Group in Germany during the Cold War. Upon release from active duty, he continued to serve in the U. S. Army Reserve and was commissioned a First Lieutenant in June 1960. “
IOW, he left active duty as a 2nd Lt and was only promoted to 1st Lt, AFTER he retired from active duty. He got all his promotions, up to Col, while serving in the US Army Reserve.
Then AFTER he retired from there as a Col, THEN he joined the California State Military Reserve (California National Guard, where he was promoted to General, but as the posted article says, that rank can only be used in CA.
Here is Brigadier General Bill Becker’s bio (He served in WWII, Korea & Vietnam): http://www.af.mil/bios/bio.asp?bioID=4639

Hillary’s campaign has stumbled upon the self-destruct mode. Maybe for a finale she’ll burn herself at the stake.

I knew it. He spent all of his time in the rear.
