"I would put character way up on the list. If you want to select an officer for your command you want one who is confident of his abilities, who is loyal and who has good character. It is the man of good character that I am going to seek out. There are a lot of good people who know the 'smart' way of getting things done, but they also ride roughshod over people that they are supposed to be working with. I don't want that. ~ General Mark Clark"
