My Take
David Goldfein is the kind of figure who earns my respect through the long climb. Rising to four-star general and serving as the 21st Chief of Staff of the Air Force is remarkable, but the Distinguished Flying Cross tells me he was a pilot first, someone who actually flew the missions before commanding them. I also notice the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award, a small detail that hints at a lifetime of methodical, principled effort. Leaders who reach the top of an institution without losing their hands-on roots are rare, and I find Goldfein's trajectory genuinely impressive.
