... here is CENTCOM's Commander Admiral Brad Cooper.
I am not going to elaborate on CENTCOM's stunning "victory" in Iran, but here is Cooper's bio.
Admiral Brad Cooper is the proud son of a career Army Officer. He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and earned a master’s degree in Strategic Intelligence from the National Intelligence University. He studied international relations at Harvard and Tufts Universities. Cooper is a graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. A career Navy Surface Warfare Officer, he has deployed on ships to every combatant command theater of operation and served a tour on the ground in Afghanistan. His command tours include service in Bahrain as commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, FIFTH Fleet and Combined Maritime Forces; commander, Naval Surface Force Atlantic; commander, Expeditionary Strike Group 7 in Okinawa, Japan; and, commander, U.S. Naval Forces Korea in Busan, South Korea. His ship commands include USS Russell (DDG 59) and USS Gettysburg (CG 64). Ashore, he most recently served as Deputy Commander, U.S. Central Command. Other leadership tours include service as the Navy Chief of Legislative Affairs and Director, Surface Warfare Officer assignments (Pers-41). He has also served in a variety of executive and military assistant roles in the White House, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, U.S. Africa Command and U.S. Pacific Fleet headquarters.
OK, that's fine, that's honorable and respectable but here is the Eisenhower's conundrum.
Ike, actually, did win a huge campaign, he also planned it together with George Marshall, a no small feat against however depleted and weakened Wehrmacht. But what are those awards Admiral Cooper wears? Judging by the massive display of awards he is the equal of Chester Nimitz at least and makes Ike look like an amateur, despite the fact that Ike was bestowed upon in full sincere admiration and respect the awards which Admiral Cooper can only dream about, Ike's name is even enshrined on the Kremlin Wall. One is left wondering what kind of display this is. I will omit commenting on the content of this Admiral's presentation, suffice it to say--it is preposterous.
