The same can be said for what I once thought about being a flag officer.

He was a flag officer and paid to think like one.

"Not one single flag officer would support me on it."

He presented his idea to the flag officer, who agreed.

The attention of the eight flag officers turned to the map table.

By the time he came back, the flag officers were filing in.

Care to join me in the flag officer's dining room?

Clearly, no one wanted to be named as part of a controversy between two flag officers.

Prior to his election there hadn't been a single former flag officer or general in Congress.

The rule is, you have to clean up your own, even flag officers, sir.
