Words can be used as weapons. I bet with breath like his they could be used as Weapons of Mass Distraction to anyone he was talking to.

The fact the the U.S. military systematically weeds guys like this out of its ranks probably explains a lot about why we don’t do well in that type of conflict. Wingate sounds like a nut, but he won, whereas our higher ranks seem to be full of well-groomed, well-spoken, conformist losers.
