As a military officer, served his country well and with honor.
He did Desert Storm the right way.
Well said. Prayers for his loved ones.
Are you sure about that? IMHO, he was nothing more than a political opportunist well adept at manipulating AA to his benefit. A perfect example of a 20th century perfumed prince. He became the quintessential liberal propagandist presstiute. Once again IMHO, he died not an icon but a disgraced man without virtue.
What an ironic end for a man who got a pass for his role in My Lai, was promoted by Republican administrations and put tribe (ObaMao) over country in the end.
A minor man with an even more minor place in history.
“As a military officer, served his country well and with honor.”
I watched him for years. I NEVER saw him take a position of substance on ANYTHING! Fence sitter supreme. Just what is needed in a flag rank officer.
You forgot his whitewashing the atrocities at My Lai when he was a 31-year old Army major.
May his Memory be Eternal!!!!
Colin Powell, 84, was reportedly fully vaccinated for covid. But he had multiple myeloma, an immune system cancer that makes any vaccine less effective.
Moreover, multiple myeloma, although it can be managed for years with certain drugs, is at least potentially deadly over time. Did Powell die of covid complications or multiple myeloma, or some combination? I don’t know.
I agree... and he should've stayed on the sidelines after his military retirement.
