Anyway, apparently it's now inappropriate to question what politicians say.

Kelly is not a 4 star General in the Marine Corp - he retired in January 2016, and is now a civilian in a political post. |

He can still be referred to as a 4 star General. |
He can be referred to as a 4 star General, but he isn't a serving one in the Marine Corps - he is a civilian.
Just like ex-Presidents are referred to as Mr. President, but no one confuses them with the serving President; he may have the honorary title, but he doesn't have the authority or powers of a serving officer...
But back to my point - why is it "something highly inappropriate" to question the statements of a military (or ex-military) person, as posited by Sarah Huckabee Sanders, President Trump's White House Press Secretary?
