Gen. Petraeus delivers address at Officer Candidate School's graduation

There are some difficulties,” said Sprenger of Stockton, Calif. “After awhile I don’t see it as a disability at all. I actually don’t really like people calling it a disability because I think with training and training yourself I know I can do things just as well as a lot of the other guys I work with and I respect just as much.”

Congratulations to 2nd Lieutenant Sprenger.

General Petraeus must be about the only man who can get the military to drop the rule of two. It says a lot about his character that he continued to lend aid to such a determined soldier.

Congratulations to 2nd Lt. Peter Sprenger. He is a great example of the courage and determination many of our service members show. Best of luck in the future.

Someone does need to inform him that the GWOT is now over and the current fight is against man made disasters.

Outstanding!

Now who wouldn't want to have a team leader with an eye patch?
