These is something not right about Eaton. This guy went into a combat zone as a two star general and never got promoted again. The only time I have seen that happen before was when the 1st AD guy was doing his driver. I wonder what Eaton screwed up to accomplish that and if he went democrat to get back at the people he thinks screwed him?

Look at his bio. He was sidelined to TRADOC assignments after a stint as the ADC of 1AD. He was effectively removed from the mainstream key assignment as a Divisional Commander to be promoted to 3 star. Every assignment for the rest of his career was training centric, not operational- even his assignment in Iraq was as a trainer.

Nothing wrong with good trainers, but the Army is biased to promoting the most deserving and officers with the highest potential to key operational assignments to command in combat. Maybe he got sideways with the wrong people at DA/DOD or maybe he just hit the Peter Principle ceiling. One thing is certain, the guy is obviously a liberal with a huge chip on his shoulder and displays a stunning lack of understanding of Constitutional powers that he swore an oath to support and defend.

Interesting, and couple that with the notion that failure for democrats is a career enhancer, and the dots begin to appear.
