What do you think of current US generals?

>>34958647
Any rank above E5 isn't a human being anymore and can fuck off.

>>34958647
It's hard to compare them to people tested in conventional wars since the skill set is pretty different. People like Mattis need to handle counter insurgency while people like Eisenhower had to manage and win field battles.
But the Battle of 73 Easting was a damn good show by General McMaster when he was still a Captain.

Why would I care? I got out almost a decade ago and have a life to live.

What do you Google modern generals? Measure them by your armchair general status? Enjoy those tendies, I think you're a really NEET individual.

Civvie as fuck up in this bitch.

4/mattis mattis is best.

everyone in the navy seems to have legitimate mental helth problems. I'm not sure if that's because of 8 years of obama military shoots and leaders but it seems like it. Air force has some cool guys. McMaster is based af. Marines have som neat aviation guys

measure them by the fact that they haven't been able to resolve a 16 year conflict

I dont know about generals, but whoever is in charge of the 7th fleet needs to be sacked ASAP. And the captains need to have their drivers licenses revoked

That's because it's not the goal. We remain to occupy. It's part of the plan.

>>34960865
there are more cost effective and safer ways to occupy them

>>34960917
No there isn't. We have to maintain the security of all the poppy fields. No poppies = no heroin = no drug money = CIA out of business.

>>34960827
every flag officer in the entire Navy is an incompetent oxygen thief

the Army is only like 75% of the way there

>>34958647
they can't even beat a 5 years old with down syndrome in a game of 1v1 sc1 classic

>>34960827
He already has been

It seems as if a lot of politics has infiltrated the general officer community, much more so than normal. The USMC were the only ones who fought females in the infantry, since its a cult.

>>34960930
the poppy meme is my favorite conspiracy theory.

I spent half my deployment burning them down.

That aside, they're not incompetent, they're just playing the "career above everything" game. Read "The Dictators Handbook" if you want to understand government, its not about doing a good job, its about keeping it.

>>34961549
Heh, kid, I think I know more about that than you. I've read infographics and everything.

>>34958647
Tactically excellent, strategically incompetent.

16 years of failure in Afghanistan is not a sign of a competent command staff.

>>34962627
If half of what the Blackwater guy said about leadership in Afghanistan is true, it should be concerning
