My experience in the Army was that West Point officers had more of a reverence, a historical focus to service. My first Commander was from the Citadel . He wasn’t rah rah but he was a helluva leader. He left right after I got there but my Troop, my platoon specifically, would have followed him anywhere.

He was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan multiple times during his career. George served in the 101st Airborne Division during Operation Desert Storm, commanded the 173rd Airborne Brigade during the Iraq War, and commanded the 4th Brigade Combat Team during the war in Afghanistan. He held staff positions on the Army Staff and the Joint Staff before commanding the 4th Infantry Division from 2017 and being deployed to Afghanistan again. George was later the commanding general of I Corps from 2020 to 2021.
