I am no military geek, much less one fixated on the 'brass'. But it
appears that this position was held by individuals for one, two or
three years, mostly. Is that long enough a tenure to effect anything
significant to the state of the service?
If not, isn't this mostly a decorative position?
And if so, why is anyone concerned?
