::[[User:GreenMeansGo|GMG]], he was promoted with an understanding that in order to retain the rank there was a contingency in place: go to the SMA and finish or the rank will be reduced back to MS. Those are the facts. How would you word it better so it's clear there was both a contingency and a reduction rank because the terms and commitment were not completed? When I read what's there now, the fact(s) seem(s) softened to where the truth is obscured. A4M2 [[User:Alaska4Me2|Alaska4Me2]] ([[User talk:Alaska4Me2|talk]]) 15:13, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
:::That's how everyone was promoted. I've been promoted that way twice. It wasn't a special kind of promotion. It was just the way promotions were done. I've explained this already here like three or four times.

::::The point isn't that it happens that way in the Army, the point is that he didn't follow through with the contingency he agreed and committed to. It's the point because he mislead at the very least and lied at the very worst about his retiring rank. As a veteran, you have to know what that means to most veterans (even if you don't feel the same way they do). He is a political figure. Someone who is currently in a high position of power. He's now asking people to vote for him, to be sworn into a position that puts him a breath away from the most powerful position on earth. People deserve the facts, not opinion. Wikipedia is supposed to be facts, not editor opinion. It doesn't matter what your personal experience and knowledge is. It matters only what the facts are and how they are presented here. If they are presented in a manner that resembles spin from either political party, then that needs to be rectified to become NPOV and the content wording to be reliably sourced from an unbiased perspective.
