      He is a Marine Corps General Officer, period! I guess that black description is for civilians. I worked directly for 2 General Army Officers that just happened to be black. Made no difference in job performance one way or the other. Oh, they were outstanding officers.

      I salute this man for his service, and no disrespect to him, but to start, his color doesn't matter to his real brothers in arms, and second, if another person of his ethnicity had worked as hard as him, I'm sure they would have gotten the rank..
