To the contrary——we need to look harder at who is promoted to Generals in all of our military. Maybe look harder at the individuals allowed to become officers, as well.
I think you nailed it.
I have kin who served in the military—and completed their careers in the officer corps, one after graduating from a service academy, and others serving after ROTC. Universally tell me that the “generals” inhabiting the Pentagon in recent years are a new breed. The have no resemblance to the cadre that got us through WW2, Korea, and the cold war. McCainiac’s, all.
