An Army general’s promotion to the four-star rank was rejected by the White House after he came under scrutiny for the slow response time securing the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, effectively moving the officer into retirement, according to a news report.
The Washington Post first reported that the White House refused to send a nomination to the Senate for Lt. Gen. Walter Piatt to become the four-star general leading Army Futures Command.

Not the first, nor will it be the last time something like this happens. What's the big deal?

The loss of pay for a 4 Star General! I don't think it's beer money!
