Yeah, you missed that "never been in a firefight" thingy that mos military people may think is one of the things on the list of things to have checked-off before they put too many stars on you.
Not that there haven'y been plenty of male pogues promoted way beyond their ability and experience.

You already know the answer. She’s not a man, and there is a sizable contingent here that still cannot deal with the notion of women soldiers. Much less leaders.

I don't know the real story, I am guesing that is the reason for what you refer to as insulting replies.

Thanks for that. I agree - 4 stars, with very few exceptions, earn it. Regardless of plumbing or how you feel about women serving, this general officer deserves respect. And no, I’m not suckin’ up, I don’t even know her.

Could somebody please explain to me why there are so many insulting replies?Rather than remain silent, they chose to leave no doubt that they are tards.
