Obama turned the military into a joke, Trump started to clean it out, but 2020 happened.

This guy is only a four star because of all the people who were ahead of him that Obama fired, when he [Obama] fired 200+ high ranking officers, so clowns like this could get promotons they normally would not have gotten.

“I respectfully ask that you allow me to resume command and continue leading our soldiers and civilians in one of the Army’s most important and impactful commands,” Hamilton wrote to Army Secretary Christine Wormuth in a letter recently obtained by Military.com.​

The investigative report found Hamilton tried to push the lieutenant colonel through promotion boards by lobbying other generals. When the subordinate officer was found unfit for command by the first panel, Hamilton was able to convince officials to put on a second panel.​

“This was a pressure campaign,” a general told Military.com in March. “[Hamilton] has a lot of influence; this violated the integrity of how the best officers are selected to run units.​
“This was abnormal; it was unprofessional. He should have known better.”​

The board found she was an “ineffective” leader, with a 3-2 vote deciding the matter against her.​
