FWIW, I’m a Vietnam veteran. Out for years, came back in as a warrant officer, retired in 2011 at age 62. Having Clinton & Obama as CinC’s was both unexpected and.....interesting.
In my opinion, the touchstone of integrity of our general officer corps is the Nidal Malik Hasan affair. Sure can’t call it a trial. Victims’ families would probably agree.
In earlier days Hasan would have swung from a hangman’s rope while strapped to his wheelchair. Now now.
Who called today’s generals “perfumed princes”? More accurately, perfumed princes who max the PT test & look great on TV before Congressional committees.
That was Col. David Hackworth, who coined that “phrase.” I liked him. Got it, you ringnockers?
