Yeah, but like that other individual, Lt. Col "Bo" Gritz
(who I got to meet and talk to), they had in common:

1) They were wound too tight for Podunk.
2) The "big picture" was not part of their philosophy.
3) Saw the world as divided between good and evil.
4) Intensely distrustful of those who see the world in
shades of gray.
5) Saw America as the final step in human evolution.
6) Were intense believers in extreme Xtianity.
7) Were exposed to things that would warp just about
anybody.
8) In their time they were superb soldiers.

And much of what they became can be forgiven, because of
this last characteristic. Warriors who do not die in
battle sometimes become extraneous to themselves.
