He realized he can't just order 5* generals around to do whatever he wants.

[nitpick] There haven't been any 5-star American generals in Omar Bardley died in 1981. [/nitpick]  :nerd:
They're all 3*?
I thought there was a fuss because one AirForce general wasn't of the proper rank when nominated by Trump/Heggseth.

The five-star rank (O-11) was created specifically to honor several flag officers after World War II.  It is technically a rank level, but has not been, and was not intended to be, issued to any other officers.  Four-star (O-10) is the actual highest rank in the US military.

5 stars are no big deal anyways.  Small fry compared to Pershing.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.

Yes. The next thing will come along soon.

The massacre of the protestors in Iran and the shooting of the two protestors in Minnesota are distracting us currently from the next threat of war.
