Kurilla -- Serious Combat Leader...then Pushed the Death Jab and Lost the War
Was Considered for role as Chairman of Joint Chiefs -- Trump Selected LTG Dan "Razin" Caine instead
The hardest post I have had to write.

General Erik Kurilla is one of the most physically courageous and capable Soldiers I’ve ever know. Extremely smart. Extremely competent. Extremely aggressive.
Thank you for your support. Fighting demons is expensive:

I remember your coverage of Kurilla during the Iraq War. "He coulda been a contender", but seriously a substantial guy with big achievements
Not quite clear here - is Michael celebrating that Kurilla was passed over, or decrying it? Any comment on the actual pick: Dan Caine? Posting a 2023 article that both praises and condemns Kurilla confuses me; maybe obvious to others?
