Un tanto dificil de creeer ya que el general que salio era Tommy Franks un
general de 4 estrellas, como carajo vas a poner un general de 3 estrellas a
cargo de las fuerzas aliadas. Eso deja mucho que desear con respecto a tu
conocimiento de la jerarquia militar.

American tale: Poor Hispanic rises to commander in Iraq
BY JOSEPH L. GALLOWAY
jgalloway@krwashington.com

WASHINGTON - Today, a soft-spoken 52-year-old Texan pins on his third general's star and takes
command of the U.S. Army's V Corps and all coalition ground forces in Iraq.

It is the second tour in Iraq for Ricardo S. Sanchez of Rio Grande City, Texas, who thrives on tough
jobs. In his first tour, as an armor battalion commander, Sanchez fought his way almost to the gates
of Basra in 1991 in Operation Desert Storm.

Now it falls to Sanchez and the nearly 200,000 American and British troops in Iraq to try to make
peace and keep it among a fractious and feuding 24 million people in a country the size of
California.

SUCCESS STORY

His rise to high command is an American success story. He grew up poor in a poor town in deep South
Texas, son of a single mother who struggled to obtain education for her six children and for
herself.

Sanchez remembers how excited he and his brothers and sisters were on the two Thursdays each month
when his mother would go to the relief center and draw their food rations. ''That meant we would
have some meat, cheese and butter in the house for at least a couple of days,'' he said recently.
``With a family of six that didn't last long, and there were many days when we had only beans and
rice.''

Sanchez began working after school -- sweeping up and cleaning his uncle Raul Sanchez's dry-cleaning
and tailor shop and making deliveries -- in the first grade. By the fourth grade he had a second
after-school job, sweeping and cleaning at a pharmacy. The money helped keep the family afloat.

He focused strongly on school work, especially math. When he was in the sixth grade, his math
teacher called him a dummy. He struggled to prove her wrong, and became a whiz at math. He graduated
eighth in his high school class of 300, and was voted most likely to succeed.

A professor of military science helped Sanchez, a high school ROTC standout, win a four-year
Army/Air Force college scholarship at Texas A&I College in Kingsville, where he earned his bachelor
of science degree in mathematics.

Sanchez was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army in 1973. When someone told him he should
avoid the 82nd Airborne Division ''because ROTC lieutenants didn't stand a chance there, much less a
Mexican,'' he promptly volunteered for the 82nd and served there for the next five years.

Back then his highest ambition was to be an armor battalion commander, something he achieved in the
first Persian Gulf War. Sanchez led three of his companies in a stunning raid on Tallil Airfield in
southern Iraq, destroying at least 10 MiG fighter planes on the ground, and earning a Bronze Star
with a V for valor.

Sanchez's commanding general, then-Maj. Gen. Barry McCaffrey, who retired a four-star general and
served as the nation's drug czar, said of him: ``An officer of enormous personal competence,
humility and a terrific tactical sense of organizing and leading combat operations.''

PRINCIPLED LEADER

Lt. Gen. Eric Olsen, a fellow armor battalion commander in the first Gulf War, said: ``Sanchez is
one of the most principled, ethical commanders I have ever met. He is not afraid to offer an opinion
or take an action that might be perceived as unpopular if it was the right thing to do. I'd trust my
flank to him anytime.''

Retired Col. Bill Chamberlain, another Gulf War armor battalion commander who served with Sanchez,
said: ``He's one of the true achievers in our Army. He got what he got through hard work, lots of
ability and some luck.''

Sanchez is one of nine Hispanic generals in U.S. Army history. Six of them hail from South Texas.
Asked why this is so, Sanchez said: ``It is love of country, a hardworking ethic and a value system
that is totally compatible with military life. The Hispanic family is all about loyalty, taking care
of each other, perseverance, courage and a willingness to sacrifice. Hard work in the Army is easy
compared to being out in the fields picking cotton.''
