By the time one reaches O6 (Colonel) and above, it becomes political. Too many are more concerned about their careers than being warrior leaders. Kelly was only operational a short time in his career, then astronaut from then on. Essentially a civilian who often didn't even wear his uniform. Petraeus is more disappointing but also not surprising.

My real concern lies in those entering today's military, particularly the academies (West Point, Air Force Academy, Annapolis). Political correctness will be so systemic with these 2LT/Ensigns that there will be no hope for our future military.
