Four-star general for president?
http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0822/p11s02-cods.html

<snip>The Rhodes scholar who was also first in his class at West Point and was wounded in Vietnam has the necessary pedigree for a candidate in a time of security concerns. But for one who has spent most of his professional life in uniform, he also has an unusual ability to address civilian concerns.

On television, he argued for affirmative action and against a big tax cut. On CNN's "Crossfire" he spoke out against permitting "a long-term deficit." On "Meet The Press" he spoke out against the abridgement of civil liberties in pursuit of the war against terrorism.

1. His slogan could be "a real soldier,"
as opposed to the pretend one in office now.
