Amen.
By the way, did you listen to the General say "Hooah?!"
Many people don't know that that stands for:
1. Heard
2. Understood
3. Acknowledged

No worries--I just learned that about a month ago. I am just a stupid pilot.

Thanks for helping start my day off right!
If LTG Honore' wants to run, I will vote for him for mayor of NOLA, governor of LA, POTUS, or even king!
But the job I would most like to see him take - press secretary for Bush. Helen Thomas would drop dead on hearing the reply to her first question.
Picture a drill instructor, running from the podium to get his face one inch from hers, as he screams "Don't get stuck on stupid, Helen".

One of the funniest Honore moments was a press conference he did with Chertoff a few weeks ago. Some reporter made a statement about slow response. Honore jumped all over the reporter. Truly funny listening to the reporters get an earful. Then Chertoff says he'll take one more question. A reporter starts his question when Honore walks off the stage muttering that he had more important things to do. Chertoff, in the middle of the reporters question, walks off the stage saying "I'm going with him".

I like him in the same way as I did Schwartzkopf during Desert Storm. I'd drop everything to hear Stormin Norman's 3:00 briefings. :-)
Thanks for the link, this gentleman is truly a breath of fresh air!

bttt means ....bump to the top....
..that keeps the Thread...(thread is what you are posting to)...viable...
In other words....you just posted to me...
..so the Thread will stay on Page 1 of the forum if others see it and continue to post to it.
otherwise, it will fall out of page1 category.
I know someone else can explain this better than me...
..Anyone want to give it a try?

Well stated. I can't help but think of the Sean Connery character in "Finding Forrester" chastising the Rob Thomas character after being asked if he goes outside: “That isn’t a soup question is it— it fails the basic criteria of a question in that it does not solicit information that is important to
you.”
"Soup" questions dominate our media and culture. I think it is a symptom of people wanting to hear themselves talk.
