It would follow that to state that “90% of the officer corps is incompetent” would require that you personally know at least 90% of the officer corps. Additionally, it would require that you are competent and qualified to judge.

Not knowing your background and abilities, I would still question that you are even close to being correct. I personally speak from the position of being a retired sailor who has worked for and with officers from all services, from O-1′s to the CJCOS. While I have known some losers, they generally didn’t go very far and were weeded out quite soon.

If “90%” was just a throwaway figure that you thought would catch attention – fine, you were correct and we can now discount your hyperbole.

But if you still claim this figure to be correct, please support it with facts and include your military background to validate your assertions.
