That's great to see and even tho I oppose the wars appreciate your service 👏🏽👏🏽💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

@@deneshbhaskar3944 you don't belong in the military.

When someone reaches the rank of Lieutenant General, their rank is Lieutenant General but they are addressed as Liententant. Same thing in the navy, Lieutenant Junior Grade and Lieutenant Commanders are both addressed as Lieutenants.

@@calebcorso9810 no they are not a general of any grade is addressed as general.

Thanks Jim very much for your supporting comment. You can message or chat me on my private email address:- genlorirobinson69@gmail.com

I agree and it's why, in my opinion, that our President needs to have served in the military. They not only know how to lead but before they could lead they learned how to follow and listen.

And during war, there's a 5-star general in each branch so imagine being called General of the Armies

They work 80 hr weeks....weekends too....no overtime. Sounds cool but really just a stressful ass job.

@@dangerclose1 Yeah, I could imagine it

@@duback1209 General of the armies is a six-star general, the 5-star general is general of the army. the 4 star general is just general.

that is true

I think that’s a typo. She commissioned in 1988.

@@christopherwilliams6762 she Commissioned?.....wtf I didn't know she was a ship 😂

Steve H. Yes that's the chain of command. I know this because I'm a Navy Vietnam veteran and war on terrorism veteran. I remember Admiral Howard I was getting ready to be discharged after serving 10 yrs active duty and 4 Reserve duty. God Bless ladies always. Bravo ZULU. (Job well done)

Thank you for the explanation. So much respect for her and all the others.

Zero!

At least The British Military you earn your ribbons for actually being in a combat zone !! And not for getting dressed !!

Retired

and Nadja West

That's a good point. Do you have any explanations? Has the job become a whole lot more technical & complex? Have we realized being ready at all times instead of having to promote field officers in a big damn hurry like Ike, going from Lt Col to 5-stars in just a few years? Do we have commitments all over the world to assist allies & suppress problem areas instead of allowing them to blow up & even come in-country again? Are we retiring officers at a reasonable age so we don't have a bunch of feeble old leaders in a crisis? (I'm an old man so I get to say stuff like that without even smiling) As long as there's a real need for a well-trained & diversely experienced officer corps, I say yes, we're doing a good job of ensuring we are ready & able anywhere, anytime. These four general & flag officers represent the best & brightest personnel available for the job.

She was retired at the time of this interview, so you would no longer where your uniform.

No where near the same.

yeah i find it laughable that soldiers/sailors/airmen today have as much if not more ribbons/medals than chesty puller or audie murphy like wtf. a fresh lieutenant now has more ribbons/medals than dwight eisenhower for pete sakes.

I noticed the same thing . It’s great we made a milestone with women in the military finally , but now we need to think about women of color . Admiral Michelle Howard was black but 1/4 is not enough. It’s not just black women , Asian , south Asian , Hispanic as well.

Colin Powell is a 4 star General and later served as Secretary of State. Russell Honore is a 3 star General. Both of them are black men.

God bless our military, we love them so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾 ma god keep them safe 💖💖🥰

I mean you have to put the best out there , plus we cant have all our babymakers dying .

The short answer, though most people don't like to hear it, is males are expendable and females are not.. that's the way it has always been in every civilization throughout human history and how it will remain. Mostly comes down to biological reasons, as pupy said you cant have your babymakers dying.

Bob Cobb sounds harsh but there’s some truth in it. So why all the whining

The reality is that the draft requirement is obsolete. If the USA is fighting wars that require a draft, our leaders have really messed up.

@@roberthudson1959 Well, there is a societal benefit to it to. It promotes national cohesion and identity as well as induces maturity and (self)discipline, while removing senses of entitlement.

Sounds like you are upset and jealous there.

@@vburd62 Had to live it for three years...I think it gave me an attitude....Then when I get out, actually still breathing,, somebody in the army was laboring under the delusion they were going to put me in the active reserve....they were high...

Any evidence of that? or just word of mouth?

I served in Iraq with then Major Lodi. She was an absolutely superb leader. She demonstrated outstanding technical skills. I could clearly see her as a General Officer early in her career.

@@scottwest1791 I can believe that

a lot of medals and ribbons post korea are pretty much meaningless. if you don't have a MOH, DSC, silver star, or a bonze star, legion of merits or distinguished service medals... it don't really matter much. they call them fluff medals/ribbons.

There shouldn't be any female generals they're making our military a laughing stock.

Feminism and the radical democrats destroyed the US military. These women are all affirmative action candidates who never held a combat command in battle but sat behind a desk getting participation trophy after participation trophy. Sad!

Generals lead armies.....not sit behind a desk and yell commands at people.....the times of General Patton and oberstfuhrer Rommel have long gone....The generals today are all laughing stocks.

Last war they won was in 1991.

yeah how come?
