    What a difference, the leaders of then vs. the careerist politician-generals we have today.
    Humble, dedicated, honorable men like General Franks.
    Can you imagine someone like Gen. Franks touting the readiness of the Afghan army, only to see the Afghan army be nonexistent within 48 hours? Or how about describing the drone strike deaths of an innocent family, and then lie about it saying it was a righteous kill?
    "Don't worry General...we TRUST you."....god, what a wonderful thing for a soldier to say to his commander!
    Would you say that of the high command we have now, if you were in the service?

    This was more intelligence, perspective, and historical information in 23 minutes than several month's worth of my Twitter feed. Is there a time machine available somewhere.

    Man, Franks is insanely Humble! Before reading Jayhawk i wouldn't care, but after reading it i can see that he is incredibly humble for a man who achieved what he did and is so gifted . Swartzkopf on the other hand, while certainly deserving of great respect, is way more pompous...

      Scwarzkopf was Bushie's stooge. He was pumped up as a hero.

    • @pushups2345
      @pushups2345 Před 2 lety +4

      On Swartzkopf: perhaps, but keep in mind that to wage war effectively you need military leaders who inspire confidence in their men, rally the public back home and be credible before the legislature

    I didn't know George Washington was such great general during the whole of WW2. Guess I missed out on something.
    On a side note, I'd love to hear Tom Clancy's thoughts about what's currently happening in the world. Such interesting insights and entertaining to listen too.

    I say this..if a man must become an ego he must do so by the merits that he has by himself achieved... and if one can remain humble tham he has achieve not greatness,,or perfection,,that is reserved to superheroes..but if he can apply what one has learnes and perfect upon than i belive that person is worthy in any profession he chooses or not...interpret this as you wish

    18:40 ironic, that almost 21 years later in 2017, Rose himself is caught in a boys-girls situation and loses his show and is fired from CBS and PBS. So ironic. So. I. Ro. Nic.

    Comparing Norman Schwarzkopf to Fred Franks in terms of personalities, Schwarzkopf seems closer to Patton and Franks more like Omar Bradley.

    Given what we know was happening in vietnam by American soldiers on a daily basis, relentless torture and murder of villagers who had nothing too do with the war, hand grenades thrown in to enclosed spaces full of families, mothers fathers, children.
    I wonder if any of this was in his mind when he came to answer that question, and why it so conveniently slipped his mind
