Not sure, but if you are like many on this thread who think this gold bull has acquired the nine lives of a cat these past very few weeks when hill 300 was taken, and then hill 310, and now hill 325 has us all beFuddled as "where is the enemy?" . Yes it seems that 4 star general Russ needs not to prove himself in battle here anymore , guess "the thrill is gone" for him :o) as he seeks new theater(s) to engage. . Russ will be missed eventhought he will check in whenever new and unexpected dangers arise, but his replacemint has really already been selected, and no its not Claude eventhought he has the expert knowledge of the landscape, but Hard-as-Nails with the ability to bite off another's head is needed :o) ok, Russ's replacemint will be final once the Senate approves the addition star to marcos making him a 4 star. . Lets not celerbrate too quickly here because marcos, unlike Russ, will kind-of "sneak up" on those doing wrong and lay-it-on-the-line without any warnings that Russ has done. . The good news is that marcos is more of a grunt rather than an officer and has gotten his hands dirty and bloodied and blistered like most all of us here, so hopefully he will be more like that sergeant with 4 on the bottom called i forget, master gunnery? or major master gunnery? .
