You don’t make higher than LTC without toeing the line. Senate ‘advice and consent’ is required for O-5 and above. You cross them and you can be pretty much guaranteed to not be promoted. Speak out against congress publicly, piss off the wrong general for whatever reason and you will retire at Maj./LTC.
