Do generals do any parachuting? Would have thought they ordered others to do it.

Having had no idea on this attempt at humour I looked it up. Apparently they do:-

  • General Sir Roly Walker
    The Chief of the General Staff participated in a parachute drop from an RAF Atlas A400M transport aircraft.


  • Lieutenant General James M. Gavin
    A senior United States Army officer who participated in combat jumps with paratroopers under his command during World War II. He was known as "The Jumping General".

Well of course Walker and Gavin did. Everybody knows that. Any others?
