Nonsense. The stars just mean that an individual filled all the requirements and avoided the pitfalls.

I'm gonna call you on that - bullcrap.

How many people in the Army top off at Colonel because they don't advance to flag rank? Or in the Navy who retire at Captain? It takes more than "punching your ticket" to make it to be a General or Admiral.

Good morning.

Call it what you want.

How many people get the key to the executive restroom, only to lose it when their patron goes away or the mood shifts?

The debate on this thread revolves around trusting or believing people because of what they were, rather than, who they are. What they are is a clique of former officers who are acting for political reasons to harm our war effort.

Believe what you want. I'm off to the VA hospital at Fort Miley. I get to see what generals and admirals do, good ones or bad ones. I'll be back tonight.
