Bearian summarised it fairly succinctly his military rank does not ensure notability and the United States Court of Military Commission Review is not a major appellate court A bit longer of an answer his military career does not include anything that shows he passes the GNG no major commands no revolutionary warfare tactics and coverage seems fairly routine in relation to cases He fails POLITICIAN for his lack of a high enough seat he wasn t elected and the appellate court is not a major one Regarding the court based on the article it was more of a commission established for a single purpose which was closed after three years That does not compare to a Supreme Court either national or state
