Has the Marine Corps ever had a more inept commandant than General James F. Amos?

All military commanders are under the authority of the President. If given an order to “give women equal (combat) rights” he has two choices: “Yes, sir.” or “Here’s my resignation.”

I probably would have resigned, but not being in that position and not knowing the full story, I cannot say for sure.

It appears that all US military commanders have been handed a 5 lb bag of excrement from the POTUS and commanded to make a sandwich. In their efforts to make said sandwich palatable, some have asked,

“Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?”

My Commandant was Al Gray. Don’t know what’s happened since then.

The name PX Kelly comes to mind right away, but I'd have to do more research to refresh the details.
