Yeah, OK I’m a few days behind the news, but I just thought I’d mention that Karl Eikenberry, Obama’s ambassador to Afghanistan, was my very first platoon leader when I was E-fricken-two in Bravo Company First of the Seventy Fifth Infantry back in nineteen seventy-five when they were still on Fort Stewart.
I sure hope he’s less of a (ringknocker) dick now than he was then.
I don’t fault him for working for the Obama Administration. If the Obama Adminstration asked me to be an ambassador for, say, oh, I don’t know…Panama for instance (hint, hint), I’d accept it.
LT General Eikenberry has had a long and distinguished career, and I’m sure he’ll do a great job, but to me he’ll always be that dickhead El Tee back 34 years ago. So, I guess there won’t be any job offers to work on the diplomatic staff in Kabul coming my way anytime soon.

Damn, more tantalizing connections keep on coming up. Eikenberry was my company commander a few years after Jonn’s experience. I am younger and look better in a speedo 🙂
I found him to be a ring-knocking prick as well. We’ll see I suppose. Of course this comment will cost me any chance of that posting to exotic foreign places like Costa Rica or Miami.
Too bad General Zinni is getting dicked around by the ambassador selection process.
Would that be First of the Seventy Fifth as in Ragnerds? I did time at Ft Stewart in what was then the 24th Infantry Div back around 85 – 86. The division commander then was none other then “Stormin’ Norman Scwarzkopf.
Ah don’t see his 1st Cav patch……Thirty years ago? *scritching* my head…….Nupe weren’t one of my occifers.Ah….er…mmmm …7th Cav Officers….
*salute*
Jonn, 34 years ago??? Good Lord, let the man live, he could be a totally different person by now!
