Lead, Follow Or Get Out Of The Way...

I am more afraid of an army of one hundred sheep led by a lion than an army of one hundred lions led by a sheep.
~~~~~Charles Maurice, Prince de Talleyrand-PĂ©rigord 


Most everyone will remember Gen. Stanley McChrystal from the debacle late last year where he resigned from his leadership post in Afghanistan.  No matter the supposed statements by his minions, or his CinC, I happen to admire him and his style of leadership.  Several weeks ago, a video was posted of one of his presentations on "leadership".  It's well worth a watch.  It's my hope that Gen. McChrystal will have more videos forthcoming.





Say what you will about what happened, but it's my opinion that we did a great dis-service to our Nation when the President accepted his resignation.  But then again, it's been said...when the Lord closes one door, he opens another window.   I'm here to tell you I'd let this man in my window any day. 


And so it goes......

Pat Tillman's Mom was on TV hating on General Mc. While sorry about her son's tragic death I wish that SHE would STFU.

Guys, I really really like McChrystal. But at least he was man enough to stand up and take responsibility for the actions of the men under his command. Which is what a great leader does.

Oh, and Gene? So do I!!
