I don't know what process the Marines use to select their General Officers, and I am sure they have their duds as well, but I wish the Army did half the job in selecting their leadership that the Corps does.
I have frequently seen Marine GOs that I would gladly serve with, and rarely seen the Army General Officers that could compare physically, intellectually, and morally.
Furthermore, most of the Marine Generals seem better educated on a wider variety of subjects.
I guess the Army selection model is based more on politics.
