NPR recently interviewed a U.S. Army General (retired). IIRC, it was
"Stormin' Norman". When asked about this incident, he said basically the
same thing. He stated that, when he was younger, he had been prone to make
rapid decisions, and they were almost always inferior to those he would
have made had he thought about them for a while.


I'm no fan of Bush, but I think this particular issue is a little silly.
Isn't there some old story about an old airline pilot and a young examiner
of some sort where an emergency is "caused" and the pilot's immediate step
is to wind a watch, or some such? "I ain't never killed nobody winding a
watch" was the punchline.
