The war in Iraq and Afghanistan is fought with troops who are assigned to US Central Command (CENTCOM).  Ever since General john Abizaid retired, the public hasn't seen much of the new man who is the commander of CENTCOM and leads the entire war in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The new man is Admiral William Fallon, born in December, 1944, one year before the end of WWII, and has been on active duty since 1967,  He has awesome power as a Unified Combatant Commander overseeing 145,000 US troops from the Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Army.  Back in 1991 during the first Gulf Ward, the CENTCOM commander was the infamous H. Norman Schwarzkopf  "Stormin' Norman" who lead our nation to military victory.
