Brigadier generals. They are the ones with only one star. Right?

Not the ones who spent their entire careeers doing this sort of

The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose 
and for someone else to pay when things go wrong.

In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology 
has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence,
and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years
. It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints,
and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been 
as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.
