Yawn, like calling a EVP the CEO.

A demotion from admiral would have been 3 grades.

We are going to assume he was a rear admiral lower. That would be one step.

A rear Admiral upper would be 2 step demotion.

A Vice Admiral would have been a 3 step demotion.

It is wrong factually to say he was demoted one step because he was an “admiral.” It depends on what level he was.

You are just wrong.

Ronnie Jackson....the Texas Rep who lies about being a retired Navy Admiral....douchebag.

"But Jackson is no longer a retired admiral. The Navy demoted him in July 2022 following a damaging Pentagon inspector general’s report that substantiated allegations about his inappropriate behavior as a White House physician, a previously unreported decision confirmed by a current defense official and a former U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive personnel move.

Jackson is now a retired Navy captain, those people said — a demotion that carries significant financial burden in addition to the social stigma of stripped rank in military circles."

Texas Rep. Responds To Biden Cancer Diagnosis With A Conspiracy Theory

0 agree jackson did bad stuff and deserved reduction in rank
1 wow, the push back when I merely mentioned the truth that Walz did the same
2 he DID retire and admiral, and was then reduced in rank
3 Timmy was NEVER a command sergeant major, he was an acting csm, until he earned and finished the terms and conditions

There's a big difference between retiring as a Navy Admiral and being a retired Navy Admiral. Apparently, he doesn't know that. He was busted all the way down to Captain, must have been pretty egregious misbehavior.

The reporting states he was reduced because he's a big drunk and apparently sexually harassed a number of female subordinates. In other words, a perfect complement to trumptards everywhere.

Navy ranks
Lt commander
Commander
Captain
Admiral

One rank demotion. Apparently for being a 1 man pill mill.


I think you are confusing other branches officier grades
Don't let your emotions get ahead of your intellect

Yeah, you have. Your entire posturing has been to lesson his malfeasance comparing him to Waltz, and assuming it was a one rank demotion.

It could have been a 2-4 step demotion.

We have not established what rank he lost.


We are assuming his previous rank was rear admiral lower.

He should have been under the microscope since he became Vice President under Obama.

I have received a PSA, bloodwork, cardiac eval and basic cognitive screen every year since I started Medicare. I get phone calls from my medical insurance carrier to make sure I am not being abused. Shouldn't Americans expect the same for their Presidential candidates?

It sure does not appear Trump could pass a cognitive test, still waiting for the tariff rates to be published for the country of Mattel

Beats me! Maybe that’s why you can’t have abortions, so you can kill ‘em later.

Kind of makes sense, I suppose. Raise ‘em for cannon fodder to create fun and profit for the oligarchs and shareholders who stay safely at home. (That makes them smart!)

Kill the best, keep the rest, and then wonder why society is degenerating.

MAGA!
