A retired Major General visited my ROTC battalion today and I have to say he was very insightful and incredibly knowledgeable.
Outside the scope of his discourse, I reminded myself that everyone has an opinion and usually delights in imposing it on others (which is nothing new, right?).
But it is a rare occasion that we get to interact with and ask questions of an individual with REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE...Someone that has a "true" basis for what they tell you. That is say, verses someone that just thinks something and because they think it they believe it to be true and that must make them an expert.
Ergo, I quickly decided that a 36 year special forces officer and veteran was worth giving my full attention to.
