Yeah. That’s why I mentioned the politically savvy part. A very few seem to get there on just time and merit. Most have the political acumen and ruthlessness to rise through the ranks within a terrible system.
Still completely wrong…
Do you even know someone who’s been in the military?
Or are you basing opinions on Major Dad reruns?
Because the multiple issues with the promotion system was actually a multi episode arc on that show, even back then…
I’ve spent the last decade as a proxy voice for conscientious objectors and my girlfriend’s dad just retired a few years ago as a major general in the national guard. Does that count?
Edit: The governor threw him a gala event for his retirement and all.
Nope.
It’s your GFs dad, but I’m sure he is very impressive to a teenager.
Not even getting into the “guard” aspect…
