Understand please that all the current general officers received their 3rd and 4th star under Obama. And at that level it is all politics.

My last battalion commander in Germany was promoted to full colonel shortly after leaving command, where he took a C-3 air defense artillery battalion to C-1 in about 18 months.

I remember how he said he was proud of that promotion, because getting a star is more dependent on politics than most anything else.

Anyone who has served will tell you that in the main, an officer who makes it past O-5 is probably, in all certainty a piece of shiite.

The Fraud fired and disgraced all who didn’t march to his master’s orders.
