Why Allen Iverson?”

“You don't pick generals off park benches. … They are experts at what they do and lot of thinking goes into it.”

Tom Clancy (1947–2013) American author

1990s, CNN interview (1999)

And the people we have with general stars on their shoulders are pretty smart and pretty good guys.
