What was the Colonels name that ordered his troops to take a knee on TV yesterday to defuse the near riot while trying to inspect a mosque ?

I don't know his name but I saw the video and thought he did an amazing job defusing the situation. I was even impressed with some of the Imams trying to corral their people. Could have turned out very badly.

I didn't see it, but it sounds like that colonel really used his head. He remembered what the mission is, and did the best thing to help accomplish that.

I'm glad somebody else picked that up, I don't think the press realized just how amazing that was.

That was the 101st Airborne, and I don't remember that Colonel's name, but I'm sure we'll be reminded when he gets his first star.
