Gen Colin Powell dead of Covid complications

Stay strong revchuck38! My prayers and best wishes are with you.

Thanks! My bout with Covid was in August and I'm doing fine now.

This saddens me to hear. General Powell was an excellent statesman. One of the few who I believe genuinely cared about the American people and not about politicians. We are diminished as a country for this loss.

I hope his family finds some peace in knowing he is not suffering in pain.

Rest in Peace.

Here is a nice interview he did on his experiences and lessons learned from Vietnam.

While I have not cared for his politics over the last decade or so, he had a honorable and distinguished military career. Was inspired by his book in the mid 90s.

RIP General

His was the best autobiography that I've ever read. Incredible. Later, I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook. Unabridged, read by the man himself. Awesome.

Both are highly recommended.

A life well-lived. I am grateful that such a man lived.

Be at peace, sir.

A good man gone.
