Some Truth

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

Linked here is a speech given by Gen. David Petraeus at The Heritage Foundation today. It’s about an hour and 15 mins. I suggest waiting until you have enough time to sit through the whole thing. There’s nothing like getting the truth right from the mouth of the guy who actually knows it. There is a cultural throw away line used by a lot of people. They will call just about anyone “the man.” This guy, General Petraeus, really is the man.

I’m an old soldier. I’ve known a lot of soldiers, and a lot of leaders of soldiers. Most of them were good, some were bad, and a couple were great. This guy is one of the great ones. If Petraeus called me tomorrow and asked me to assault the gates of hell with him I would have only one thing to say: Hooooah!
