I bet the general was a real happy camper over this. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall watching all of this.
Well, he wasn't too happy with his security people, but he was a real gentleman about it with all of us Cav guys. After the exercise was over, he sent each one of us a set of his two-star collar insignia (the silver Class-A type) and a pretty neat two paragraph memo complimenting us on our professional and tactical expertise.
Yup ... a real fine man ... but I certainly wouldn't have wanted to been a part of his HQ section during the next training cycle.
