I had a bit distaste for Mr. Powell in the years that he was intermingling with the Bush Iraq War fabricators, but I still have a lot respect for him for his years spent soldiering in defense for our country. He was an articulate and thoughtful man, but seemed to be in bad company.
I think our military today is exhibiting signs of lack of leadership, and having a few more Colin Powells in the ranks would sure help us right about now.
Colin Powell’s military career is one of great honor. He served in Vietnam, and during his first tour was awarded a Purple Heart, and later a Bronze Star. During his second tour of duty and despite injuries sustained during a helicopter crash, Powell was able to rescue fellow soldiers from the burning helicopter. This incident resulted in him becoming a recipient for the Soldier’s Medal. In fact, Powell has received 11 military decorations.
Powell went on to further his education, receiving an MBA at George Washington University. This brought him to a White House fellowship, and an assignment to Office of Management and Budget in 1972. The year after his fellowship, Colonel Powell served a tour of duty in Korea. He then landed a job a the Pentagon. Powell was later promoted to Brigadier General and commanded the 2nd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division. Powell acted as an assistant to the Deputy Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Energy during the Carter Administration. He was once again promoted, this time to Major General. Additionally, Powell assisted Frank Carlucci at the Department of Defense during the time of the transition from the Carter Administration to the Reagan Administration. Later he served as Senior Military Aide to Secretary of Defense, Caspar Weinberger. Then, in 1987 Colin Powell became the National Security Adviser, and remained in that position until the end of the Reagan Administration.

I'll remember him as just another liar who got us into a needless war.
He died, supposedly, of COVID complications despite being fully vaccinated.

Covid struck again for the fully vaccinated hero but they will say he was old and had underlying issues.

I thought that’s precisely who this vaccine was designed for: the elderly with co-morbidities so that they won’t get hospitalized or die if they catch covid. R.I.P. Secretary Yellowcake
