A good piece by Matthew Bogdanos in today’s Washington Post. I had the pleasure of working with Colonel Bogdanos USMCR in Iraq. He is a very impressive individual, a true renaissance man.
“Being effectively ruthless and genuinely caring are each manifestations of courage. The ability to effect their integration and foster the bond between leader and led can spell the difference between defeat and victory, because wars — fought with weapons — are won by people. Your sons and daughters, sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers. We are honored to lead them.”
