I reserve the right to not publish ignorant ill-informed and filthy comments from vile cretins who have a four letter vocabulary. Further, anonymous comments with strong opinions and personal attacks may be rejected. If you want to voice a strong opinion, at least have the courage to sign your name to it. You don't even have to use your name, make something up so the next person can address your comment without confusion.
Lt. Colonel Jeff Cooper was and still is an amazing source of wisdom. I never had the opportunity to meet him, or to train at Gunsite, but I wish I had on the former and hope to do so on the latter. I am a 34 year old former Marine, and can say that Colonel Cooper had a dramatic and lasting effect on my life. Not because he was a warrior, but because he was an intellectual who led a full life. Semper Fidelis Colonel Cooper, I look forward to patrolling with you in the next life.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the exact source of this quote (magazine, book, etc.)?
I would like to cite it authoritatively.
Thank you.

ReplyDeleteAny day I can quote Jeff Cooper is a good day in my eyes. No one has put so eloquently, so often, the need for each man and woman to take personal responsibility for their safety and their actions.
