  • Colin Powell

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/18/polit...ies/index.html

    "General Colin L. Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, passed away this morning due to complications from Covid 19," the Powell family wrote on Facebook.

    "We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American," they said, noting he was fully vaccinated.

      So many times, he seemed to be "the adult in the room".

      I have heard testimonies from numerous military officers from various branches of the service who say they met Powell in various venues, and he would always talk to them like a friend and colleague rather than a superior officer.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
