I think the reputations of those involved here really speak for themselves. Ultimately I don't know what role the General plays, but it's not hard to make a logical assumption that the US is going to need to alleviate its dependence on foreign sources of rare earths. Our military simply cannot continue to be dependent on China.
Bottom line, the board here is not what you would generally find with any company, let alone a small company like US Rare Earths.
Their involvement speaks volumes, their reputations everything.
Not one would dare compromise those reputations, built on decades of honored sacrifice, for any business opportunity if it didn't too have some positive implications for the very country they've so heroically served virtually their entire lives.
