Reply to comment by klauskervin in In rare rebuke, two retired War College professors say Doug Mastriano is unfit to be governor by BeltfedOne

More than a little late. We let this man train and lead our soldiers. We let him into a position of trust and power long before he tried to be governor and there's plenty of evidence that he has long held the views that make him unfit for leadership. That's what scares me and few seem to be talking about.

This is the kind of man the military thinks is fit for leadership positions. His beliefs and his academic shortcomings did not prevent him from attaining a teaching position in our military.

Sad to say I'm sure he's not the last or only one like that.

TBF, every large, homogeneous organization will have its share of fringe types. Seeing the military leans right in general, it's amazing there aren't more like him. Once you get to the higher ranks, the military is very political. The rank he he attained is quite high, but it's telling that he was assigned to school rather than command. No doubt he received the rank and assignment based on his dubious PhD.
