Episode notes

The general talks about the people he learned from throughout his career. He says culture is complex, evolves over time and takes effort to shape. Each unit has its own unique cultures that can be shaped by leaders who are committed to their troops. The army must also inspire young officers so they don't let down their sergeants in the future of our army.
