about history, young officers today will be going to the same kinds of questions that cuts in and john k hair did about 100 years ago. patton is someone who loved force calvary. they both went to west point. the tankose to go into corps and it's a good thing for america that he did. unfortunately, he languished in midcareer lank -- midcareer ranks but john stated the horse calvary and rode all the way up to a two star general. ultimately, he was arguing to congress as late as 1939 not one more course will i give up for a tank. we've got this same question in the junior officer corps today. it's not just size, how do we find the talent and put them in the best places and make sure they stay in the best places? it is a great thing we have inquisitive minded two star generals today rather than we are not going to repeat some of the mistakes -- that's the difference -- the attitudes you have seen. -- >> please as we swap appeared, it join me in thanking these three.
