Richard Dove "Combat"
I feel strongly that the exposure you get in combat brings out the real person, what you're really made of. If you can lead under those conditions than you can lead under just about any conditions. Unless you've been there, unless you've done that, you can't fully appreciate what it means to send people there. It's one of the things I like about John Kerry. He's been tested and he passed the test. President Bush has never been tested.
