When Petraus left tail between legs to take a cush Wall Street job, I knew the military had been destroyed. Where is the honor, where is the shame? I am thinking, don't want to, that they became 4 stars due to butt sniffing and boot licking is that the way it is in the military these days?
Between major wars, it is a typical degradation of military capability, as the boot-lickers advance and ruin the service. It happens in most countries, not just the US. When a major war erupts, these people eventually go to the wall, but a lot of damage can be done before they are gone.
