You may read up on how not to be so sensitive when most know there is always an exception or two to a nonspecific statement. Of course I have actually known a few gen/flag officers who were outstanding, self-sacrificing leaders but I emphasize FEW.
And you may not believe this but I knew Marine Commandant Gen P X Kelly, another great officer.
Many of us greatly preferred Gen. Gray as Commandant, and I think that's all I'll say about that.
