WHO ARE THE GREATEST ARMY GENERALS?
“Only about one percent of any given officer year group in the Army will make it to the level of general officer. Most of those who do will serve their time and retire without much notice by the general public. Even amongst those in the Army, most general officers are only known by those within their sphere of influence. Not until history steps in do general officers become famous for having perfected their craft. Even then only a small number of those generals seize the opportunity, distinguishing themselves above their peers.”
Everybody has their favorite generals and I have mine, most of which the general public never heard of. As a retired Colonel, I’ve worked under some fantastic General Officers. They are tireless, smart, driven and true leaders of character. What are yours?
