Far too young, too. He was a grad of my academy, before going to West Point.
The tight-lipped nature of this report makes me wonder what killed him.[Avatar photo from a Florida training accident. Everyone walked away.]

That is sad....I met him twice in my military career....he was a big man physically and didn't really like the "Stormin Norman" nick name...most of the troops under his command nicknamed him "The Bear"....He was one tough General and did not play the political game after he retired.
It is time for all good men to come to the aid of their country, for we are in deep crap.

I liked him because he couldn't stand Colon Powell.

Yea, agree. Originally Posted by coolwhip

After thought... it became obvious why it was televised... not to inform... rather to create public opinion.GA-HVAC-Tech
