Here is a good critique of US general officers:
On September 1, 1939, Brigadier George C. Marshall took the oath of office as the 15th U.S. Army chief of staff, a post he held until November 1945. When the ceremony ended, General Marshall confided to his aide de camp, "There is enough dead wood in the Army’s officer corps to light several forest fires."

One could make a similar statement about our current generals and admirals. In spite of being in a state of war for almost all of the past 80 years, we have managed to promote an officer corps which excels mainly at self promotion and excuse making. When the next real war starts, they're likely to be no better than Fredendall was.
Clearly, they do NOT deserve our respect or admiration.
And WHY hasn't Milley been fired and brought up on charges? In my opinion, his continued presence in the military is a national disgrace.
