Not sure what I am supposed to infer from his CV. It doesn’t tell me whether or not he is trustworthy to put down civil unrest that day.
Thanks for the post. Just as I thought. This guy is an over-promoted REMF.
One of Obama’s political tools.
Buh-Bye.
He’s made it to Major General without once commanding troops in combat, mostly working in DC.
I can see where Mattis would want to make room for someone else.
That list of decorations is quite suggestive.
What it suggests to me is the question, “How the hell did this guy rise to flag rank?”
WHO replaces Schwartz ?
So, he was appointed by Bush, the W.
A metro-general with no combat experience! What good is he?
Hhmm. He has been in DC Guard since 1979. Must know the place well.
