An amazing person and leader. Could not even get a burger on Victory Drive in Columbus, Georgia after he served in Vietnam. He rose to the top in spite of being a person of color when that was a HUGE disadvantage. What a President he'd have made if he'd ever have run!
Gen Colin Powell was one of the greatest Military professionals, whose attitude to Military duty, infected a lot of us Military Professionals globally. Rest in peace sir, you're certainly one of the greatest American Military Strategists, whose strategic perceptions/conceptions are worthy of emulation by all. He was a people's man, he carried everybody along
Calley massacred hundreds of women and children at Mi Lai. Warrant Officer Thomson had his helicopter crew train their guns on American soldiers and warned Calley that if he pulled once the more trigger that his helicopter crew would mow down the American soldiers who were slaughtering Vietnamese civilians. Calley backed off and the massacre ended. Colin Powel covered up and protected Calley. The man is a BASTARD.
@@jackiebarren210 thank you Sir for telling us the truth .Alas Not many people would listen To people like you. False accolades are heaped on Such a person.
Now ...You Gen. Powell rest in peace. May all Americans would always remember all you military did during life. You are hopefully inspired every American soldiers. Amen
RIP General Powell. You are a true American God bless you and thank you for all your service to this great and powerful country. America salutes you. May you rest in peace for ever and ever Amen
He should be tried in The Hague for war crimes, for starting an illegal war on false evidence. Oh yeah, America doesn’t recognise the international War Tribunal where it comes to their own. They answer to no one, but themselves. You know, that is how law in the US seems to work when you are policing, whether it is the streets or the world doesn’t seem to matter much.
@Pamela Jerousek I have nineteen years worth of education in total. But I don‘t need history books for this. This all happened as I was attending university. I heard and saw them lying to my face in person. I noticed how the motivation for the war changed from finding WMDs to freeing Iraq and planting seeds of democracy, because they couldn't find anything. I remember how Bush stood there claiming victory and nobody I knew bought into it. I remember all the controversies around Guantanamo, the lawlessness of the detaining, denegration and torture of people, at least what made it to the press.
They called him "General Powell." That's significant to me because when I was activated for Desert Storm, I heard folk talking about "Colin Powell" and "General Schwartzkopf," and Gen Powell was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and thus, Gen Schwartzkopf's superior - boss, if you will. I had watched part of Barbara Walter's interview with Gen Schwartzkopf, and he referred to "Colin" in the interview. I know the men worked closely together and I believe there was a mutual respect between them - if not camaraderie. I know Gen Schwartzkopf wasn't being disrespectful at all: he knew Powell personally. Still, it added to my perception that it's OK to slight the black man. That's one reason why, when Barack Obama was elected President, I made a deliberate effort to refer to him as "President Obama." So, I appreciate this video featuring a program where Colin Powell is accorded the respect that we would feel any American of his accomplishments should receive. Yes, I've read many comments that insult the man and question his integrity. He mentioned the "infamous" WMD presentation to the UN: I'm still embarrassed for him to this day but I don't believe he knowingly lied to the world. I didn't know he was involved in the My Lai investigation: I'll have to research that. I've never been keen on his being a Republican - but that was his choice and I respect it. No, the man isn't perfect and we should be careful about who we honor. We shouldn't idolize anyone. Nevertheless, this man distinguished himself in his service to America at every level. He was a professional soldier. If we refer to "Gen Washington," "Gen Grant," "Gen Custer," "Gen Westmoreland," "Gen Schwartzkopf" - then we ought to say "Gen Powell" just as readily. He earned it.

You need to educate yourself about a war criminal rather than supporting someone blindly because of his ethnicity. Black leaders you may learn from are Malcolm X and Patrice Lumumba.

He plays ball. Still a great American, I thank him for his service. Impressive guy, we need more minorities like him as role models. Him and stormin norman schwarzkopf are both heroic.
As "black roles" are fairly shared between four over and over repeating black artists , I wouldn't be surprised to see that.

And The African-American Mob are standbys . Education first . Long live the ideas of Malcolm X and Patrice Lumumba.
Thanks for Gen. Power’s sharing about his acquaintance and impressions to the former President Bush 41 and former 1st Lady Barbara Bush. Absolutely Gen. Power said correctly that both of them are high up there as the former President and former 1st Lady of our country, but they are so down to earth kind loving kindness and generosity nature accompanied with their America’s patriotism and loyalty, principles which left deep impressions not only to Gen. Power, also to many ordinary Americans like us too. I wish all Bush families will be healthy always.
I have mixed feeling about these heroes...too many people mainly civilians died, wars of aggression, and Powell lies at the UN assembly in 2003 showing false evidence for another illegal war....I am not so sure now
I understand your frustration but the French did sell saddam a nuclear power plant Where in which it could culture uranium etc. so yes Adam did have capabilities of weapons of mass destruction I understand physics I’m sad to say that maybe everybody was ill-informed growing up in history
The only thing you could ever leave behind is your reputation, your good works, and a generation of children for the Nation. And let your dreams be your only limitation. - General Colin Powell
@Pamela JerousekThe intelligence NEVER misleading the truth but the opposite, the CIA repeatedly informed Bush that Iraq does not have weapons of mass destruction since 1993. Bush was lying and he wanted to wage war at any cost. Red John Nixon book Debriefing the President: The Interrogation of Saddam Hussein.
They are great Americans until they fund terrorism and lie to America in pursuit of globalist policies. These people need to be tried by accurate history. This man was a traitor. You do know that he created and assisted in funding ISIS, don’t you? I was a marine for 9 years and served in wars that were all bout destroying peoples’ lives. So stop typing BS.
If Powell had never entered politics his legacy would have been guaranteed to be great. If Powell did not 100% believe the intelligence about WMD’s from Tenant and the CIA then he should have resigned and let Bush Jr and Cheney go on their Journey.
You are so wrong! He didn't enter politics. General Powell put service to his country first. He transitioned from military service to governmental service, serving under both democrat and Republican presidents. It's not in his character to walk away from a posting that he agreed to do. He finished his 4 years and left. He knew shit was going downhill real quick but being the Honorable gentleman he is he stuck it out till Bush's first term was up.
J.C. Adams He spoke at the UN and made the case for the Iraq War. If he had doubts then why did he make the case for the Iraq based on CIA intelligence?
@@mikeparker6322 you answered your own question. the CIA manufactured the case for war along with other agencies. He was only a messenger. He gave a statement in behalf of the president of the United States
Colin Powell launched the American Promise Alliance in 1997. The Summit Declaration pledged to fulfill the “promise of America” for every child, which remains the core objective of America’s Promise. Specifically, the declaration outlined five essential resources the presidents agreed all children need to develop into successful adults, referred to as the Five Promises The Five Promises are: 1) Every child irrespective of social status or situation should have caring adults to guide and encourage them; 2) Every child irrespective of social status or situation should have safe places, both physical and psychological, in which students can safely develop; 3) Every child irrespective of social status or situation should have a healthy start in the form of proper nutrition and exercise; 4) Every child irrespective of social status or situation should have effective education that prepares them for work and life; and 5) Every child irrespective of social status or situation should have opportunities for service-that is to help others and foster a sense of community, self-respect and service Every child in the world not just America should be guaranteed these promises and resources
"STORMIN NORMAN"....A GENERALS GENERAL! There will never be another like him ...He was BEST OF THE BEST! Never saw him pull the race card like Powell and other black officers did.

The Five Promises are:
1) Every child irrespective of social status or situation should have caring adults to guide and encourage them;
2) Every child irrespective of social status or situation should have safe places, both physical and psychological, in which students can safely develop;
3) Every child irrespective of social status or situation should have a healthy start in the form of proper nutrition and exercise;
4) Every child irrespective of social status or situation should have effective education that prepares them for work and life; and
5) Every child irrespective of social status or situation should have opportunities for service-that is to help others and foster a sense of community, self-respect and service
Every child in the world not just America should be guaranteed these promises and resources
