Gettin Things Done

Call him "Rajun Cajun" or "John Wayne dude", General Rusel Honore is taking charge and overcoming redtape in Louisiana according to this from CNN:

The general came to rescue of one young mother trying to carry her twin babies down the street in the terrible heat and humidity of New Orleans, Starr reported. The mother was so exhausted the children were almost falling out of her arms.
The general went up to the woman and took both of her babies, handing them off to soldiers to carry, as he promised the mother that they were going to get her some help. The troops helped the three hurricane victims to a Coast Guard ship, where they were treated for exhaustion and dehydration.
Honore said he wants his troops' profile in New Orleans to be that of humanitarian relief operations, leaving the law enforcement role to the local police.

I'd like to nominate Gen Honore as commander of our troops in Iraq. Our forces there are doing a great job in every way except in PR. Nothing like a blunt talking character, like a Patton or a Schwarzkopf, to restore morale and strike fear into our enemies.
