re: Whats really up with these generals ?

I do not know a whole lot about the upper echelon of the commissioned ranks but it seems to me that it is a folly of arse kissing. It seems to me in order to reach that level one has to sell out their both their morals and their colleagues for promotion. (for at least a certain few). Couple this with the infiltration of SJWs into all facets of American life this is the end result.
