My Take
I have a soft spot for soldiers who actually led from the front, and Hertling reads like one. A retired three-star general who commanded everything from a platoon to a field army, capped by leading U.S. Army Europe and the Seventh Army, he carries the kind of resume that only comes from decades in the dirt. The Purple Heart tells me he bled for it; the Bronze Star and Legion of Merit tell me others trusted his judgment under fire. What I value most is that his commentary, when he offers it now, is grounded in lived command rather than theory. That gives his words a weight I respect.
