The Army Now Has the Most 4-Star Generals on Duty Since World War II

The Army now has more four-star generals serving on active duty than the Army and Air Force combined had during World War II.

Army Col. Christopher Coglianese, the chief of Future Operations at Army Futures Command, tweeted this month about the milestone, which the service has only hit once in the past.

"Last time we had that rank density was April 1945, when we had four five-stars and 13 four-stars," Coglianese said, adding pointing out that at that time the Air Force was known as the U.S. Army Air Force.

If there is anything any army needs LESS than "more generals",I can't think of what it would be.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
