Leadership: why we're losing the War

When you read Col. Hunt's first article you get the sense that all is not well with our military. When you read his second article you see that he's right, and all of Al-Qaida is reading this and laughing all the way to the IED storehouse.

I agree with his last comment in his last article:

We once had a president who got it; his name was Lincoln. He got fed up with the Union Army and fired a bunch of senior generals. He hired a drunk by the name of Grant, a man who was not even in the Army at the time, but who knew how to lead and how to be brutal when necessary. This was a man who knew how to win. Lincoln’s advisors told him, “Mr. President do you know that you just hired a drunk?” Lincoln said, “Find out what he is drinking, and give it to the other generals.”

Now, that my friends is leadership and we need it both in the military and the White House.


So true, so true!!!
