I think you're right. Lt. Col. Shaffer was promoted to his present rank in October of 2004, a decision that was probably made in the ordinary chain of command.

The real investigation needs to be of who at the Pentagon is responsible for this action and why.

Now ask yourself what the possible reasons for this might be and who has the stroke to make this happen....

It's a rather upsetting thing to consider...
