Rummy has to have confidence in his man, for whatever reason. I will stick with Rummy on this one. If he messes up, I expect Rummy to sack him, generals are a dime a dozen, fighters are scarce.

I'm retired Army.

I personally never met a general who wasn't a very capable, brilliant person in some area of expertise.

I've mentioned many times on these threads that my favorite is Doug Brown of US Spec Ops Command, recent Cdr of USArmy Spec Ops.

All of them were good.
