"I don't lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word."
The general has always been confident in his abilities and that of his Marines.
He led the 1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade into Afghanistan in 2001 and the 1st Marine Division into Iraq in 2003, and he led an operation into Fallujah in 2004 dubbed "Operation Vigilant Resolve." He also helped to plan the later "Operation Phantom Fury."
His success in battle and strategic genius has earned him an almost godlike status among Marines.
