Gen. Colin Powell, widely admired as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the early 1990s, had a strong opinion about command-decision making:
"The commander in the field is always right and the rear echelong is wrong, unless proved otherwise. In my experience, the people closest to the problems are often in the best position to see the solutions. The key here is to empower and not be the bottleneck."

The problem with Powerll is he has broken his oath.......
Perhaps like the Benghazi "Mission" the White House should call in the Muslim Brotherhood to defend Obama and his minions from the Patriots in our military that recognize the treason emanating from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Powell is not a good leader for he cant see past his nose only how fat his back pocket is...
When Colin Powell changed from Conservative values to Progressive idiotology to supporting BO, he broke his honor and oath to this country. He deserves what he gets, personally he might as well consider biting the bullet....he would do this whole country a big favor...
I've been following Powel since he first became Chairman and I've never seen Conservative values in any of his speeches. He simply threw a few conservative thoughts in with his very liberal ideas. It's just that many Americans expected him to have those conservative ideas because G W Bush appointed him.
Bingo!
Our first affirmative action general advised Bush to stop the total destruction of Sadams army. Wake up people. Brown skinned people will always vote brown when that is their choice unlike many white folk who are afraid of being racist. Someday our grandchildren will be slaves because of our cowardness.

Robert,
This is simply not true. How do you explain the very capable and Conservative Governor of Louisiana ---- Bobby Jindal ?!
The majority of Brown people in the USA vote for the people that will GIVE THEM STUFF FOR FREE. The only way to break this stranglehold would be to have a Presidential candidate like Allen West. They may not realize it right now but minorities desperately want a real Leader, one that can be trusted, one that lives by a an honor code that few of them have ever witnessed.
Any military man that supported Obama after what he did to this country in less than a term in office, and by allowing homosexuals to openly serve in the military does not have any opinion nor value in thought I would consider nor respect.
