Ranger Tab
I served under him in Desert Storm. Very sharp man.
He’s an officer. Officers give each other medals like candy. The only one that means anything to me is the Ranger tab - and even then he’s still an officer.
He seems like a good guy from what little I have seen today. But, like Mattis, he doesn’t understand who our enemy is.
And that is the first, primary, central, understanding necessary for a warrior. Without that - you lose. Without that - you are a dangerous, amateur, fool.
