 On October 1st, General Joe Dunford was relieved as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Dunford's career epitomized the writings of Epictetus, the framer of Stoicism. He maintained a calm, cool presence in the face of changing norms. He is the epitome of the selfless servant, quick to call attention to the virtues and accomplishments of others, never seeking credit or attention for himself. He is known as a relentless, energetic and compassionate commander, even handwriting letters to families of fallen service members. Aristotle told us to habituate virtue and doing so would create virtue in others. General Dunford, as you move to the next stage of service, thank you for your example of virtue. Lead well this week.
