Your unit has been activated and told it will lead the charge into Afghanistan. You are lucky enough to be able to choose your leader into this battle. Who would you "allow" to lead you and why? And your Command Sergeant Major is the gentleman from We were Soldiers.

SCPO David Lockwood - I remember when Patton slapped a soldier in a hospital. And when he got killed in a car accident just after the war ended.. The Massachusetts National Guard unit that was sent to North Africa got decimated at the Caserene Pass and the remnants were absorbed into Patton's Army.. These guys who my Dad knew never talked about it at all. But my Dad told me they hated Patton but would not go into any detail..

CPO Emmett (Bud) Carpenter - I think and could be wrong but Officers who served under Patton hated him but Enlisted loved him for the most part... That is what I have been able to find out over the years..

He help me, Patton was well in the past the Government worked with him. As you said it the Gov. that sent us there would let him and us do what we where supposed to instead playing politics with peoples lives as they are doing today and calling them conflicts, We would still be honored around the world. Once liked now despised. Let them stop playing with people unless we really mean business and we are there to do the job and do it right the first time and not pussey foot around.

He gave an impressive speech before we pushed into Iraq in 03, and then I remember "Chaos" rolling up and down MSR Mobile in an LAV checking our positions in 04.

Gen. Schwarzkopf was the CINC USCENTCOM during the Persian Gulf War, which he executed flawlessly. He was also a highly decorated officer in Vietnam.
