I've said this on here before. Everything after LTC is political. Generals like Patton and Eisenhower will never exist again. Officers don't fight and to get passed LTC or the equivalent you must play the game. Promotions to General require Presidential and Senate approval. Most great officers never get passed LTC. Most get out before then because they can see what they will need to do and want none of it. This is how we have Milley and Austin while guys like this lose their command.
