So, an active duty GO does a lot of PT - don't sleep much - doesn't eat cake - and skyrockets to prominence on the backs of their troops.
...must be a conservative republican

Does anyone actually pay attention to the things of substance that these guys SAY and DO when they are on active duty?
If so, why all the hero worship followed by shock and surprise when a news article uts" them for who they really are ??

fascinating
That is the thing that always boggles me on these boards is when an Officer someone here knows becomes a GO they tout him as different a "good dude". The "good dude" has negative conotations IMO....So no they are not different they share the same compromised character as they all do
