H.R. McMASTER

摘要

Major General Herbert Raymond McMaster might be the 21st century Army's pre-eminent warrior-thinker. Recently tapped for his third star, H.R. is also the rarest of soldiers-one who has repeatedly bucked the system and survived to join its senior ranks. He initially gained renown as a cavalry commander, earning a Silver Star in 1991's Gulf War after his nine tanks wiped out more than 80 Iraqi tanks and other vehicles. His reputation grew after his 1997 book, Dereliction of Duty, boldly blasted the Joint Chiefs for their poor leadership during Vietnam.
