Yep, having three stars didn't prevent Flynn from being a lying sleaze and being a disgrace to his rank and the service. You also forgot to add knowingly lying to Congress under oath and possible collusion and influence peddling...
...and David Petraeus had four stars, one more than Flynn, and that did prevent him from disclosing and discussing highly sensitive classified information with his mistress, in direct violation of Federal National Security laws...
...and, truth be told, both of them, and some other senior officers implicated or accused in illegal activities of all sorts, have themselves actually traded on the 'goodwill' afforded them by their rank; if they had been grunts or non-coms, the book would have been thrown hard and heavy at them and they would not have been allowed to get by with little more than hand-slaps; they haven't suffered any diminished rank and they get to keep their pensions and the various other perks that come with those stars...
The number of stars they have denotes what they are, not who they are. Quantity is not always the arbiter of quality and sleaze is always sleaze no matter the rank...

Veterans need Medicaid too — and are speaking out against GOP health care bill --

I'm expecting the kicking of puppies and kittens and the evictions of poor little old ladies to be next on the GOP Far Right agenda...
