I was in the Nuremberg, Germany community in the 80's when Gen Shalikashvili was the community commander. Everyone was quite impressed that such a young man had made general and thought him to be an excellent commander. It seems we didn't know what a great and fair person he really is. Thank you, General Shalivashkili!

Regardless of one's opinion of Israel, one cannot deny the effectiveness of their army and special forces. And that country permits gay soldiers. As the general says, citing Denmark and the Netherlands as examples is irrelevant. As for my new country, before making light of its smaller military, Americans should remember that Canada partook in both World Wars from their outsets, unlike the US, and that it has suffered a much greater per capita mortality in Afghanistan due to the assignment of its troops to the Taliban-ridden Kandahar province.
