We are up to almost one hundred comments and not a single poster has corrected the blatant errors in the conversation.
This officer is being appointed as the Chief of Staff of U.S. Army Europe in Wiesbaden, not as Chief of Staff of the Army. U.S. Army Europe today is a three star position, and the Chief of Staff is a Brigadier General, which is good, because that’s this German officers rank. As the title implies, the Chief of Staff runs the staff, the Commanding General and Deputy Commanding General have the command authority.
The U.S. Army has done this for years with the Canadian and British Armies, and we are doing it now with the Australian Army. This is a logical extension of what has been going on for years and is quite common in Afghanistan as it was in Irag. We operate together, it’s useful for our allies to know how we operate.
Perhaps the posters on this thread ought to go to Stub Hub and see if they can get tickets to a game tonight. Have a beer, eat a dog, enjoy. This is no big deal.
Thanks for your input. I don’t know if this means nothing or something, but, this is a “first” and we know how this Administration is all about “firsts”.
From an employment view, there are officers currently in the Middle East deployment (and around the world) getting PINK Slipped. Why not employ an American Army Officer?
I agree that the forces need cooperation.
This is who he is assisting.
Lt. Gen. Donald M. Campbell Jr. is the Commanding General of U.S. Army Europe, headquartered in Wiesbaden, Germany.
WNBA? ;)
