What's with the media addressing the CDS as General and Lt.Gen simultaneously, shows how clueless most of our media are. Here's another example.

Doesn't qualify. Have to be of army commander rank. Other 3 stars don't qualify.

I think there is some talk about a former army commander being one of the choices. If only 4 stars officers were to be considered, the pool would be very small and since this is a 4 star post, no reason for 3 star officers to be left out. Just a promotion.
