#1 "Many painful episodes"

Believable, unless of course you might have happened to serve with Vince Brooks, the most perfumed prince of perfumed princes. The virtual epitome of the 'made man.'

#3 It's the Christian concept of original sin repackaged. Except there is no repentance and no forgiveness. The sinners are to be purged and replaced.

It's a Maoist power grab.

#8 As an African American man, the feelings of inadequate and unfulfilled justice that I have felt for too many years of my life come again to the fore.

Experienced bias in his career? And yet, somehow he got an appointment to West Point and rose to become a 4-star general.
