You're utterly naive if you don't imagine generals don't have an impact on promotions. I can't imagine any claim more stupid than that.Of course they do. They make the decisions about the people below them, and those people make the decisions about the people below them Everyone takes their cues from the people at the top. If you want to get ahead in the military, you sure as hell don't buck the top brass. Under Obama, it was career suicide to be a climate skeptic.Promotions for generals are chosen by the President and then approved by Congress, moron.
And generals make up .069% of the military...and you said it was the whole military.
Oh, and the POTUS only nominates those that are already Brigadier Generals for their next rank, so that cuts it down even more who the POTUS has control over.
The generals make the decisions about everyone else, moron.
No they do not you dumb fuck.
Why do people that have never served think they know a damn thing about how the military works?
Once again, you speak of things you have no fucking clue about. You are just parroting the party talking points.
The General has no input on promotions for any enlisted person till you get to the rank of SgtMaj and even that is limited. The only way a General can impact an enlisted person's promotion is if the enlisted person worked for the General and the General put in a letter of reference to the promotion broad.
I worked on the 1st MAW G3 staff, used to brief the Command General every 30 days on the status of his units prior to submitted the SORTS report. He still had zero impact on my promotion.
