He epitomizes that American Icon, the Rugged Individual. — B Dubya
Thanks.
Persistant. I mean really persistant. — B Dubya
Something referred to as “maintenance of the objective”. Don’t be distracted by diversions such as Rick’s.
Argumentative, quick on the offensive. — B Dubya
True. Something to do with knowing that the logical outcome of defensive warfare is ‘defeat’. So, as Patton would put it, “L’adace! Toujours l’adace!”
Patton would be proud. — B Dubya
Speaking of whom. He was something of an inspiration in my military career. Although I was a gravel agitator, I was always rather ‘offensive’ in my demeanor. Indeed, one senior officer described my sense of ‘tact’ as, “He attacked.” Another said, all that he needed to do was give me general guidance and turn me loose on the objective.

Does 27 years wearing the ‘Green’ equate to ‘federal service’?
And you thought I had no ‘sense of humor’.

Pelto, take a quarter and go make a down payment on a sense of humor.. — B Dubya
Been there. Done that. Got the scars to prove it. 
And I’d rather invest the money in that booklet available at Amazon.com on How to Build Your Own Bazooka.
