The military selection process has flaws just as all others. We get dumbasses who make it through the process. Stavridis is obviously contained within that dumbass set.
Thankfully, all of the generals that I’ve had the pleasure to associate with are sharp.
I’ve known and know several former military folks who, well, I sure question their oath. Did they have their fingers crossed when they swore the oath? I meant what I swore to in summer of ‘67 when my dad swore me in and I still hold that oath close 50+ years later. But, it takes all types I suppose.

You haven’t met too many generals, have you?
