In my W-Europ country a general would make around 5000€ a month at the end of his carreer. Full carreer let us 35 years (they retire sooner than civilians). All start as lower officer, ie lieutenant at around 2000€ a month. So let us say that an average general carreer would amount around 3500€. It means that he could have earned around 1,5 million full carreer. So can somebody explain me how a general from an emerging (I have to be cautious with my wording said the moderator!!!!) country could become a billionaire? O stupid me it was the wifes fortune of course...
