I agree. Seeing that fools like Colin Powell and McChrystal can become four star generals is a little scary. It’s no wonder that our country is in such sad shape.

Advancement in the military has become more and more a political game based on "sponsors" and contacts. Leadership, hard work, courage and military skills take a back seat.

Don't forget about Wesley Clarke, Eric Shinseki and the current CJCOS. Winners all...
