Yeah, terrible. And unexpected...I didn't know he had blood cancer. RIP.
Very sad.
I never met him, but I had a CO in the Army who worked with Powell in Vietnam. My CO told the story that one time Powell came back from a barracks inspection in Da Nang. Powell fumed at him, "you and I are going back to that barracks." Powell then told him, "grab your sidearm Captain, there are whores in the rafters, and we are going to get them out of there."
RIP
Lol. Makes 'em sound like riled up possums.
