That would have been US Army General John Shalikashvili. He was Chairman when I retired. I didn't much care for him either.

His father, Dmitri Shalikashvili, was born in Poland but raised in the Georgian Soviet Republic, and served under the command of Hitler's Waffen SS. The future Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, who was also born in Poland, attended school in Berlin while his father fought in Italy and Normandy against Allied forces. His family emigrated to the United States in 1946.

That's him! I always had an apprehension when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
