#6: the story about how the young trainee accidently shot him is incredible. Too bad U.S. News didn't do a whole story on it.

I heard Bill Frist tell it once and ended up sobbing.

re #6 - That type of accidental discharge (then Col. Peaches was shot at the range, point blank in the chest) normally would have been career ending for the range master and the shooter. Peaches response was to send the shooter to airborne school where he exceled.

Awesome leader, awesome man.
