German officer to serve as U.S. Army Europe's chief of staff

Via WiscoDave

 Gen. Markus Laubenthal is the first German officer to be assigned to U.S. Army Europe. He is the command's new chief of staff.
A commie?  We know damn well that Obama picked/chose him.

A German Army brigadier general who recently served with NATO forces in Afghanistan is assuming duties as the chief of staff of U. S. Army Europe, the first time a non-American officer has held that position.

Brig. Gen. Markus Laubenthal, most recently the commander of Germany’s 12th Panzer Brigade in Amberg, and chief of staff of Regional Command North, International Security Assistance Force Afghanistan, will be stationed at USAREUR headquarters, Wiesbaden, Germany. He could report to duty as early as Monday.

  3. Everyone Knows the US Army is experiencing a shortage of Generals. it's a dirty thankless job with long hours, little respect, and low pay. If those men had any options in the civilian sector at all, the highest rank in the Army would be Major.

      Which would be sufficient.
