Let's bypass Commandant and elect this guy president. He's just what the country needs.

Sounds like a pretty solid resume under the General's belt!! I was beginning to wonder about his credentials up until the last three words of the write-up -
graduated from Air War College with honors.
To be an effective Commandant - ya gotta know how the Air Wing portion of the mix operates - and how to use it to your advantage.
Now, if he can just get the Navy to give us some good aircraft instead of junk they gave us in Nam - perhaps we can get the job done in a more efficient manner!! No problem though, the Swabbies always made sure we had enough bailing wire to hold the parts together. Sure hope things have changed in 35 or so years!!
Maybe he'll catch the Defense Department Team all sleeping at the next Congressional Hearing & end up making the Marine Corps a separate enity - wouldn't that be a hoot!! SF

:flag: :banana: :evilgrin: I wonder how he will get along with Rummy Dummy? Maybe he'll fire one across his bow!!! I hope he don't get entangled with all the political crap, and when he tells Rum Dum something, I'll just betchya he'll get what he wants. We need a "HARD CORE MARINE AS COMMANDANT." I just wish we could vote for all appointments. Go get 'em Commandant, Sir.....SF
