General Russell Honore Retires
With a green beret cocked to one side, a crisp, take-charge attitude and biting one-liners — “Don’t get stuck on stupid!” he snapped at reporters — he impressed politicians and ordinary folks alike. At news conferences, he ended sentences with the word “over,” as if transmitting over military radio.
New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin, for one, famously called him a “John Wayne dude.”
Honore returned to Atlanta after the storm to focus on his main job as commander of the First Army, training National Guardsmen and reservists for duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The devastation in his home state — the stranded residents, destroyed neighborhoods and bloated corpses — “left a passion in me to be a champion of something,” he said.
