Army general loses it on congressman when he’s told “he doesn’t care about his soldiers”
By Andy Wolf| April 10th, 2017

A tall man built like a football player, retired US Army General Thomas “Ray” Odierno is still an imposing man to many of those who served under his authoritative gaze. Despite this, “Old Odie” has -from Desert Storm to Afghanistan- been generally held in high regard by his troops for his even keel and demeanor.

However, in 2013, Odierno lost his temper after being grilled by Marine veteran and California Congressman Duncan Hunter, who (during a meeting of the House Armed Services Committee) allegedly insinuated that the general did not care about his troops.
