OT - How Many Five Star Generals do we have around here?

[goldust40]

I'll be a 5 star general in a handful of posts. A good graemlin war should do the trick...

[Mr. Zipper]

I think the post count feature should be removed completely. Does it really matter? Maybe it would prevent some of the nonsensical and inane postings done purely to raise post count (and imaginary message board status.) (My first thought when I see someone with THOUSANDS of posts in a year is, "This guy has no life outside the Internet and/or a serious need for attention.")

 

Post counts just provide incentive for some to respond to every single thread and share their every thought, no matter how ill-conceived and half-baked.

 

In fact, the quality of substantive information contained in messages is typically inversely proportional to the member's post count.

 

Of course, there are exceptions.

True...I'm nearing 8000 posts but it's taken me three and a half years to get there...

Timulty is on the fast track to Secretary of the Navy.

 

The only one that would take him is The Village People Navy.

You're an argumentative and grating SOB, but you usually have something substantive to say.

lm almost to five star status

[tth2]

Excellent.

The correct military response would have been "Carry on".

[tth2]

5 stars is general of the army.[the rank no longer exsists]

The title exists, but it has not been awarded to anyone since Omar Bradley.

[tth2]

Quick, name all the 5 star admirals without looking it up.

action1kid already named the 5-star generals. I said 5-star admirals. You know, the navy guys?

 

Hap Arnold was the head of the Army Air Corps (which became the Air Force) during WWII.

 

Basically, the rule to becoming a 5-star general is you have to fight a world war. So I guess it's just as well we haven't had any 5-star generals in a while.
