Probably doesn’t even do any good to fire these 4 star jack asses because they probably get raises when they start collecting their pensions.

FYI ping

“Somehow “diversity” and Muslim sensitivities were more important than twin dangers of domestic sedition or troop safety on American bases.”

These political democrat generals in the military are kissing Obama’s butt to get that next rank. They are cutting the throats of retired military every day. They are now wanting to cut the pay of active duty military who have been fighting wars for 10 years, in constant combat, away from their families, bleeding and dying while these fools kiss the ass of Sodom to get that star. I hope the earth opens up and swallows the entire beltway.

Here’s a comment from one of the links...

“”Integrity,
or adherence to a strict moral and ethical code, is a hallmark quality
of a great leader. Without it, a leader will lose the trust and respect
of the populace it leads and serves. In the military, this could lead to
a lack of public trust, which ultimately threatens peace and security.
On a personal level, military leaders are often dealing with life and
death decisions, and integrity in thought and deed is even more vital.
If the leader cannot be trusted to be consistent in actions, values,
principles and outcomes, the bonds of trust that bind a team together
will be diminished if not shattered and the mission is likely to fail.
Whether in or out of uniform, in fact, a leader who lacks integrity will
soon lack the ability to inspire and transform.” ~ Paula Broadwell
(mistress of Gen. David Petraeus)”

I knew we were in trouble when the memo came out that said it wasn’t fair to evaluate an Officer based on his performance in combat. What should you evaluate him on, then?

Say what you want about Petraeus, he was the perfect Officer for the Army over the past 30 years.....skinny and a good long distance runner. You can be dumber than donuts and think an envelopment is something you put a letter in, but if you’re skinny and a good long distance runner, you’re golden.

David Hackworth saw this coming and was warning about this 20 years ago...

When political correctness and affirmative action collide...
