I'm not passing judgment on the man. He might be a great and wonderful man who said something objectionable. I don't know whether he's keeping me and my family safe. We're all discussing what he said. I've quoted Eisenhower and Sherman and posted about how Rommel was viewed by his adversaries. Their views were the opposite: that war is a terrible thing and that there is no fun in it. Yet they never shrank from what they saw as their duty and while I'm by no means a military expert, there seems to be a consensus among historians and the general public that they were great generals. It was just shocking to me to hear him say that killing people was fun and a hoot.
