Maj. Gen. J.D. Thurman's a good man. I had the honor of working with him during my time at Camp Doha KU from Feb 02 to Sep 03.
His nickname was "The Thurmanator" for good reason.
My husband was saying the other day that the reason for troubles was not only the handiwork of the Iran area troublemakers, but also the top brass in Washington who think they're so smart, when they don't have much of a clue about what's really going on. More than likely they put the skids on what the Generals know is the right way to get the job done. And the loudmouth media didn't help any. Heck, they did the same back during the Revolutionary War. Congress never knows when to quit...
Bump and a Thank you to you sir!
