McMaster's claim to fame comes from being commander of Eagle Troop at the Battle of 73 Easting during Desert Storm. Native of Philly, educated at UNC Chapel Hill (there's a good communist), wrote a critically acclaimed thesis on lack of leadership during Veet-Nam

>as if that was hard to do.

Got his Shiny Silver Star for his Cav Troop blowing away 28 tanks with 0 losses at 73 Easting. Command has its privileges, I guess. Kudos to the Cav, but Holy God in Heaven, they out-matched the Republican Guard heavily in their top-of-the-line M1 Abrams tanks vs Soviet hand-me-downs.

Sucked Petraeus' wee-wee for much of his career (with handies to John Abizaid).

Throw in a rather polished rep from the Middle East and voila!, instant reputation.

His laurels really rest on H Norm, the guy who happened to put him in the right place/right time to make his bonez. Scharzkopf, for all his faults, was at least a straight shooter. Innocent as a lamb, fierce as a lion.

I miss him. Much.

Interdasting designs on FLOTUS' sash and Ivanka's shawl.

Q-ish, methinks.

Makes me think of a place called the Beloved Community Center in Greensboro NC.

Hotbed of communism. That place should be nuked flat and paved over with used razor blades to keep visitors away.

In many ways. He had a great management style, one which I've striven mightily to emulate. Be a lovable dick, is what is boils down to.

H Norm's real rulez:

• Deep thinking is for fuckers who don't shoot fuckers for a living.

• Focus on what matters.

• Don't fuck with family and friends. Or else.

• Get yer shit straight and keep it that way.

• There's plenty of MF's smarter than you. Find 'em, drive 'em and use their best efforts for the team.

• Share credit copiously, but walk and talk like a badass. People will think you're a fuckin' genius.

• You go play politics. I'll just do my thing and when I'm done, fuck it - I'm done.

And that sums it up.

I like ya, Polly.

A little out there, but you're ok. Good on some things, out-to-lunch on others.

Who isn't?

Would smash, if it matters.

Yep.

Innocent, but smart. He was wise beyond his own brain.

Hard pass.

Most intelligent mind on the Court.

Only speaks when he has something to say, and when he does, it is perscipacious af.

He needs to stay on the USSC until he passes, which hopefully will not be for a long, long time.

Golden Parachutes.

Sell-Offs.
