I am a retired Non-Commissioned Officer;
I served 22 plus years on active duty in the Army as a Cavalry Scout. I served in peace time, and in combat. Tours in Europe, the Pacific, the Middle East, and the U.S.
The one thing about Generals that I can say for sure is that their primary concern is their own career, image, next promotion, and post Army 6 figure income. What was that brillant line from Gettysburg... "The entire lot aren't fit to pour piss from a boot with the instructions written on the heel".
