I’ve been reading The Aviators by
Winston Groom, a biography about Eddie Rickenbacker, Charles Lindbergh and Jimmy Doolittle. I should probably write a review on it and post it here, but suffice for now to say that it’s a great great book that should be read by all. If you have a Kindle, read a sampling.
The most striking thing about these three men, among many other things, is their integrety, honesty and courage, making me wonder if there is any one currently in our country who comes close to any of them.
Do we have any heros in public life these day, and true leaders? Surely, there must be, but where are they?
Petraeus is a coward who would not be worthy to shine these men’s boots.
I think political correctness has really become pervasive.
Patton came close to being fired by Ike a bunch of times, but Ike knew he was THE kill shot when it came to battle.
These days Patton probably wouldn’t get into West Point.
