Busy man, but took time to briefly to talk to us, the crew, and ask how things were going. Best General we have had in a long time. RIP Sir.

"We" believed him, if he says it is so, then it is, "we" figured... 4 trillion dollars later of federal debt and how many soldiers dead and wounded and PTSD'd etc. and for what? 2 cents (Right or Wrong, whatever politics and whatnot, but for him to have to basically lie to the United Nations/ all of us, that was unacceptable.)

As we came to later learn. He was given all the *data* and told to go to the UN. Some true some not. As a soldier he followed the orders of his commander in chief. The man himself said he suspected there were ulterior motives around but he did the job he was asked to do. And yes, soon left in disgust. In any case, may he RIP.
