America's Former Top General Joins The NBA Leadership Council
2015-10-04
[Daily Caller] America's top general was just named special adviser to National Basketball Association Commissioner Adam Silver Friday after retiring from his position as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Come Jan. 1, 63-year-old Gen. Martin Dempsey will take over as chairman of the Jr. NBA Leadership Council, a global body recently created for youth interested in the sport, The Associated Press reports. He stepped down from his previous role just last week.

He will also provide leadership advice to Silver and help connect franchises with local communities.
Perhaps he's finally found his niche.

#4  er, not "Chairman" but "special advisor." Sheesh, this computer has some real problems.

#3  Aren't retired O-10's usually solicited by Defense Industry-related or other high-powered companies?

The Chairman of a "recently created" "global body?"

I don't get this one. Or maybe I'm not supposed to?

#2  Truly a member of Obama's cabal.

And he has been duly rewarded for his efforts.

#1  No - this clown found his niche several years ago: https://www.thaifriendly.com/

Truly a member of Obama's cabal.

I'll bet the Russian generals were pretty impressed.
