You're right, it hasn't answered you!Fmr jarhead said:He was promoted to General (4 Star) in June 2000, when he become CENTCOM Commanding General. You may be a little confused in his function and the function of CENTCOM.
Let's see....Army Chain of Command
Commander in Chief: Pres. Bush
Secretary of Defense: Donald Rumsfeld
Secretary of the Army: Gen Thomas E White
Joint Chief of Staff: Gen Richard B. Myers
Army Chief of Staff: Gen Shinseki
Is your contention that Franks was promoted because he supported fewer US troops in the war effort? (even before there was an attack on the WTC?)
I don't recall hearing any decenting opinions from Gen Myers or Gen White......but then, again, I don't subscribe to the same news as you.
