Nor should he be. He is the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, effectively the second highest-ranking military officer in the entire NATO structure. That is a post once held by no less a person than General (and eventual President) Dwight D. Eisenhower. Gen. Grynkewich recently […]

To be slightly more precise (and a tad less flippant), essentially, a chap named […]
