Ug!  He was cut short when his 5 min expired.  I'll have to look for the text of his speech.

Do we know if there was an 'ask' in there, or was he simply extolling the virtues of CAP?

Thanks for posting!

Didn't ask for anything, yet. This sounded like an "Educational" speech.

He is a seriously good guy.
Had the opportunity to meet him and brief him on some stuff my unit does back in April.

In before the keyboard cowards at Auxbeacon write a hit piece on him...
"And Saint Attila raised the Holy Hand Grenade up on high saying, "Oh Lord, Bless us this Holy Hand Grenade, and with it smash our enemies to tiny bits. And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs, and stoats, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and lima bean-"

" Skip a bit, brother."

"And then the Lord spake, saying: "First, shalt thou take out the holy pin. Then shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. "Three" shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three. "Four" shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two, execpting that thou then goest on to three. Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade to-wards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuffit. Amen."
