COL John "Jack" Jessup - Anybody heard of him?

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q...VjOTg4Yzc3NGY=

According to the article, he enlisted at age 16 (1943) during WWII, was a Navy "frogman," then got out, got a college education, then an OCS graduate, then a Ranger in Korea, then got a PhD while an ROTC commander, wrote "the manual" on military history long used "in all officer training," then SF, one of the first members of SFOD Delta, served in DS/DS at age 64? Retired after 30 years of SF service.

Quite a history, but Google shows only this obit piece and an entry from an fraternity roster from 1963. He does not appear in the Infantry OCS Hall of Fame, an automatic entry for any graduates who reach the rank of Colonel (O6).

The author of the article is a spinmaster lobbyist from a Alexandria, VA (Washington, DC) PR firm.
