[OK]

General Gray was a son-of-a-bitch, let me tell you. I only appreciated it after MCT was over

I couldn't help but think about my Dad when I read that. He was a USMC lifer who survived WWII and Korea while all of his best friends didn't. As a boy I wondered why he was such a tough SOB, but of course that was what allowed him to survive and why he demanded the best efforts from others.

BTW, he is still going strong.
