Read the page and still don't have a clue on who they are, what they do, and what if any official capacity they have.

Unbelievable. Kerr’s name is still on the list.

[TankerKC]

I read through that too (and watched the video). I'm still not clear. I did notice that they don't wear standard Army Uniforms. On their ACU left breast is says "California: rather than "US Army." The collar brass on their class As says "CA" rather than "US" also.

It is a side issue, but this guy is not “Brigadier General, US Army, Retired.” He is a retired US Army Colonel.

Freepers.

Be sure to send emails to all your friends to alert them to the latest Hillary/CNN scandal.

I just copied Michelle Malkins latest posting to an email and sent it to 75 of my friends.

Writes Justin Raimondo: “It seems that certain people are privileged by CNN when it comes to asking questions at Youtube debates: this is the guy who asked the CFR-’Amero’ question, who also got to ask a question LAST time.”

Is this old news?

But there’s more. According to Col. Bill Campenni (USAF, ret), one of President Bush’s squadron mates in the Texas Air National Guard, there is no such thing as the California National Reserve of which Kerr claimed to be a former member.

Campenni told HUMAN EVENTS that Kerr is not even a retired Army General.

“He retired as a California Army National Guard colonel,” said Campenni. “It is common at Guard retirement ceremonies to give an honorary promotion to colonels to the STATE rank of Brigadier General…[but] it has no meaning other than a fancy certificate for the wall and use of the title at local Guard functions.”

Campenni said the rank of general is not federally recognized and the title can not be used or the rank worn outside the state.

Ping to Post 131.

I don’t know if that is all accurate, but other are questioning the use of the general rank.

A MUST-read:

Michelle’s column on “The Plant Life of Anderson Cooper”.

If Anderson were a flower, which one would he be? ;)

[ImpBill]

Thanks for the information ping. Will be interested to see if this whole CNN thing gets any more traction.

I won't be holding my breath.

Eight plants have been outed, so far, by Michelle Malkin and her friends.

CNN should be renamed “The Botany Channel”.

I’ll give my observations of officers who retired under ROPA ( Reserve Officer Personnel Act ). I’ve mostly seen it effect Majors ( 04s ), Lieutenant Colonels ( 05s ), and Colonels ( O6s ). When they retired, they would step up to the next rank. More than the title, this gave them higher retirement pay. If called back to active duty, they would revert to their former rank. In the 60s and 70s this used to be automatic. For example if an LTC 05 retired, he would become an 06.

I’ve only seen it happen to Army and Air Force officers but I guess it also included Naval and Marine Officers. I don’t think this part of the program exists anymore but may still have been in force when this guy retired. So technically his title of General can be accurate.

[I got the rope]

He wasn’t a Hillary plant...he was a CNN plant.

[reefdiver]

I expect Hilda Beast to have the only openly homo officer that i’m aware of. Where else would this misfit feel at home. Not here! thats for sure.

The Clinton campaign recently announced the addition of 35 new national co-chairs

That's a lot of furniture!

[Velveeta]

That was funny.
