I think we just got one. :( And we don't need another tongue-swallowing politician who "leans" to the mushy middle. I hope he decides to keep being a good general instead of a mediocre politico.
A lot of people were willing to draft Colin Powell to the white house a few years ago. I don’t know anything about where Patreaus stands politically but I always point to David Hackworth as an example about why we need to be careful.
David Hackworth had one of the most spectacular military careers in modern times but he was also quite liberal.
