In my opinion, and it's just my opinion, it would better if retired military officers would just keep out of politics in general. Except for voting or perhaps running for elected office. Originally Posted by txdot-guyTheir opinions do matter. However none of hollywoods should!
I don't know what the total sample size is of retired admirals and retired generals. I don't care enough to look it up but it is relevant to know the sample size to make any objective conclusion about whether the data is even relevant or whether these people are outliers.
If someone has already mentioned this, my bad. I have not read every post in this thread. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

how many currently serving Generals and Admirals are there?
45
17 former Generals and Admirals is close to half that number
get the point now?

I've stated my opinion on this already. Retired military should keep out of politics unless they are voting or are running for office. To do otherwise breaks the apolitical nature of the miitary. This applies to all sides and I never said differently no matter what you might infer. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

Read the subject title and answer the question about how many retirees are out there for the sample size. I'm not talking about silly shit like CEO's or any other nonsense. I'm talking about the subject of this thread and comparing it to the esteemed group who made it to the retired level of achievement to be a retired general or retired admiral.

was it apolitical when former Generals and Admirals called Trump incompetent to lead but not apolitical when they call Biden incompetent to lead?

In my opinion that is the price you pay for being a high ranking military member. Bashing the politics of either party including Biden or Trump or Obama or Bush should be strictly forbidden.
P.S. Your comments make it very hard to not be offensive in return. Originally Posted by txdot-guy
