My Take
What draws me to Taguba is not the rank he reached, impressive as it was as only the second Philippine-born officer to make general in the U.S. Army, but the moral courage behind the report that bears his name. Documenting the abuses at Abu Ghraib from inside the institution was the kind of act that quietly ends careers, and he did it anyway. I find that far more compelling than any medal. To me he stands as proof that integrity written down at the right moment can outlast every other accomplishment, and that is exactly the sort of legacy I admire most.
