when i simply asked him to quantify his answer, he provided a non-answer and you, for some reason, then felt compelled to jump in with a second non-answer.
the question was, and still is, "how much time has he spent with flag officers"?
while naval war college gives one exposure to high ranking officers, it is, nevertheless, a very limited environment for a limited time.
so, since he made that claim, let's see if he'll answer the question in this same public environment and we'll compare our experience levels.
