You aren't saying that every one who stays in and makes General is some undeserving "rah-rah koolaid drinking [person" are you?
There are plenty of those and at the same time I have known some great people to have stayed in and made General. The present USMC Commandant as my second Group Commander and personally treated me very well. I am certainly glad that he has risen to the position that he has and I hope for (expect that he will do) good things for the Corps.
