Imagine thinking that because you say you have a masters degree that people are supposed to be impressed. Credentialism is all the left has anymore.

Isn’t that something? I’ve had credentialism thrown at me even by people with only Bachelor’s degrees. “I have a 4-year Political Science degree, and I can tell you, ............” Asked to guess how many pages in the US Constitution, the dingbat said, “Thousands.”

Another high level government official who I once had immense respect for but who I now know to be a very suspect character.

One question I have for all General Officers under Obama - why did you to do the honorable thing and resign over the Jihad Obama carried out against out military, starting with insane rules of engagement Obama imposed on our soldiers in the field which immediate more than doubled the casualty rates they had to bear.

Seriously, our. guys actually had to watch Jihadi carry around weapons and could do nothing until they actually fired at you. If you didn't knuckle under, you were courtmartialed and stuck in Leavenworth until the end of time.

Good men risking their lives in the field paid a high price while our feckless careerist military leadership stood by and did nothing.

Yes, we have civilian control of the military and Obama was Commander in Chief but the Generals could have spoken up and resigned in protest which would have forced Obama to rescind and saved many lives and grievous wounds our guys live with to this day - physical and mental.

oh, and the big BS story is Russia is putting a bounty on American soldiers heads. Who cares, under President Trump's leadership and reversal of the ROEs , the casualty rates have dropped to close to zero and nobody could be collecting the phony bounty even if it existed.

Under the Obama administration, Iran ut a similar bounty on the heads of our troops and hundreds, if not thousands, of casualties occurred and the press said nothing - except cheer Obama’s Iran dealings and his shipping of pallets of cash amounting to hundreds of millions of untraceable, hard currency dollars , euros and Swiss francs- son of which was used to pay the bounties on dead Americans, as well as paying for the arms and terrorist network used to support the war against our troops .

And these same compromised generals continue to support and praise the Iran deal
The hypocrisy on this is simply staggering

I’ve known scores of FIDIOTS who obtained advanced degrees and “managed” things. The level of incompetence was astounding in the majority of cases. Sorry general. NOT impressed. But, thanks for your service.

Imagine achieving that level of education and still not knowing about apostrophes. Also one is tempted to ask, Oh you have a master’s degree, whose is it?

Agreed. Vacuous credentialism.

Having a masters or PhD means nothing to me.
The best programmer I ever knew had only a high school diploma; best engineer I ever knew had a BS from an unknown college. It isn’t the degrees they have it’s how they apply their knowledge.

I finished high school at 16 and jr college at 18. Doesn’t make me a foreign policy expert.

I bet he has no idea how pompous he sounds saying $hit like that!

= = = = = = = = = = =

Was always under the impression that if one were outstanding at certain things, OTHERS would be talking about it, not necessary for ‘you’ to.

Believed it is/was called ‘Blowing your own horn’
