[QUOTE="IPBprez, post: 25002, member: 51"] While RG didn't take too kindly to RP's response - I would offer that RP actually points out, or draws attention to.... one specific (glaring?) item in this write up.... He does not.. (I repeat) ..not, ..bring into this discussion any type of commentary on the men under his command. He is intensely corporate and speaks as if he's in front of a room FULL of mandatory meeting personnel. IOW's - if requested to showup and not exactly "required" to show up --- would they? Good question!
