My Take
William F. Garrison carries a weight few public figures do. As the major general who commanded U.S. forces during Operation Gothic Serpent, he stood at the center of one of the most scrutinized military episodes of the 1990s. His decorations, the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and more, speak to a long career, but what I respect is that he accepted command of an operation that would draw endless second-guessing and never hid from the accountability. A self-made officer out of Pan American, he is, to me, a study in carrying both glory and blame without flinching. I hold that kind of resolve in quiet regard.
