Because it did not look like a Masonic ring. Why would a guy who is not a Mason wear a Masonic ring? The only place claiming he is a Mason is the notoriously spurious freemasonrywatch.org where they even think the Queen and the Pope are Masons.

But we can't 100% confirm for all due to the lack of available sources. But thanks to readily available sources we have 100% confirmed it does NOT resemble the 1920 West Point class ring, as you suggested for some odd reason.
You find it odd that a West Point grad would have a West Point class ring?
Did you miss that question again? How about an answer?

I treat others as they do me, so we each can go about our ways with a question unanswered.
Which question would you like me to answer?
Dont hold your breath buddy!
Is that your typical MO? Petulant even after you insulted my memory and were shown otherwise?
I admitted that the ring in the photo does not resemble the one you linked, you on the other hand want to act like a child. Put your big person pants on and answer the question.

The answer the question.
And no, I wont answer your frivalous question because you wouldnt post the pic that was easily located with a google search...and you had ample time because you kept replying to me over and over and chose not to post because you knew you were in the wrong.
Considering I was using Bing Images (you would have picked up on that if you clicked on the link) what I was getting was not the same as what you were getting.
I am not in any wrong, I simply posed a question about a ring that piqued my interest, and you responded - quite irresponsibly I might add - and now you're trying to save face by coming at me. But buddy...its too late. Im done with you!
It is irresponsible to say that a West Point grad would be wearing a class ring? It looked more like one of those than a Masonic ring. Additionally, I searched to see if the General was actually a Mason and the only sites that had him as one were all conspiracy related which I also indicated.
So again, why would a non-Mason wear a Masonic ring?

That is obviously a Masonic ring. And he was/is a Mason.
The Lemnitzer papers span the period from Lemnitzer’s service in the Tenth Coastal Artillery unit at Fort Adams during the early 1920’s until his wife’s death in 1994. The collection is composed of eleven series: biographical materials, including magazine and newspaper articles, academic transcripts, honors, vitas, and oral history interviews; General Lemnitzer’s writings and speeches; the correspondence of General and Katherine Lemnitzer, both official and personal, including greeting cards; the activities of General and Katherine Lemnitzer, ranging from charitable activities, dinner and entertainment functions, army social functions, membership on advisory boards; Masonic and civic activities, as well as political activities and lobbying; photographs; printed materials; newspaper clippings; memorabilia; and personal papers, such as family financial, legal and medical records; subject files for miscellaneous materials and oversize materials. The eleven series occupy eighteen boxes.

I found this nugget which confirms Lemnitzer being a Mason:
One member of the Fraternity, after noting that General MacArthur, a 33rd Degree Mason, had reopened Masonic Lodges in Japan, commented:
“Most of the Generals of the Occupation and many men of lesser rank who were in key positions were Masons. The Japanese have since concluded that Masonry had some connection with the success of the Occupation.”
Moreover, the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite pointed out that all except one successor to General MacArthur as Far East Commander were “all active Masons and members of the Scottish Rite.” Those officers were Generals Matthew Ridgeway, Mark Clark, John Hull and Lyman Lemnitzer.

I just need to address the members claiming there was no remote control flight technology in 2001.

If its kind of hard to (admit the ring did not resemble the one you said it resembled) prior to the posts, then why did you say....

and you DID ask that question a few pages ago... guess I must've overlooked it.

The first time maybe, the next few times you admitted it was intentional. Stop back pedaling.

1. The West Point class ring looks absolutely nothing like Lemnitzers ring he wears in the pic as you originally argued.
2. Two reliable sources provide evidence of Lemnitzer being a Mason - answering the question as to why a West Point graduate would wear a Masonic ring.
Theres no disputing those points.

The ring however, until we have a better view, does not show a Square and Compasses.

The Masonic ring derailment is interesting. I blew it up and laid vectors over it. It looks very much like a Masonic symbol.

Not to mention two previous posters believe it looks like a Masonic ring.

And that is their opinion. If and when someone shows a clear Square and Compasses I will reasses my opinion.
