He's a four-star general on account of his commanding ability to kiss the asses of those above him,

. . .

one can't fail to be struck by the arrogance and pomposity of this twit,

. . .

accompanied by a huge entourage of underlings nervously setting the stage and dusting the seats for his genteel derriere in advance of his grand entrance.

I hate to say it, but these statements ring true to me for every officer from O-6 (colonel) and above. . . and to some extent LTC. The scary thing is I would have voted for a military officer before I joined the army.

Justin Kelly

P.S. though in all fairness, regarding the last quoted statement; it really isn't his fault Colonels and above find themselves with an entourage of ass kissers following them around
