I’m sure Decision Points will hit the 2M mark very soon,
and deservedly so.

Do you ever see your relationship with the American military changing?

GWB: No, because my affection and admiration for our military runs deep. And the only way I think the relationship can be affected is if I ever were to take our military for granted and be cynical about our military. And that’ll never happen. I truly don’t miss much of the presidency, and I’m a happy guy, and I enjoy my life.

But one thing I do miss is being the commander-in-chief. And I have great admiration for our troops and their families. Plus, you know, Hugh, I think over eight years of working with our military, I developed a kinship that’ll never change.”

Very enlightening. God bless and keep him and his family safe always.

I’m sure Decision Points will hit the 2M mark very soon, and deservedly so.

It might already have, Star. I've been unable to find recent sales figures, but it's selling very well indeed. I read in a piece earlier today that it's Random House's highest selling non-fiction book many years.

As for GWB's relationship with our military. He loves them, and they love him. I just read a passage in the book tonight that talks about when he presented the Medal of Honor to the parents of a special forces soldier who died in Afghanistan (don't have the book beside me to check the precise facts), before the ceremony they gave the President a gold pair of their son's dog tags with his picture on the tags. GWB wore it under his shirt near his heart.

He will have hundreds, if not thousands, of such artifacts available to display in his Presidential Library. I hope to make a special trip to visit it one day.

I’m waiting for my Christmas present from my daughter. I know she won’t let me down.

Thanks for the link to the HH interview. I printed the whole thing out, to keep with my copy of Decision Points.

Hugh is an excellent interviewer and W does not need a teleprompter to answer in complete paragraphs of informative responses.

Thanks for the link. HH is often pre-empted by college sports here. It’s so annoying ;-(
