IMHO, he is an egomaniac with delusions of grandeur.
They still tell stories about how he abused people as the 24th ID CG.
I worked for him when he was the CINCSOUTH, and he was an absolute asshole who spent more time worrying about his press than he did his people.
My understanding was that his career got restarted when he had a run-in with Hillary at the White House and kept his mouth shut about it.
I see him as a Wes Clark with some actual combat creds and personal valor.
