THE
WISE ADMIRAL
During World War II, Admiral Nimitz was in a
plane that had crashed.
The Admiral found himself caught in the
middle of sailors swarming to the scene to rescue the wounded.
Finally, an exasperated 18-year old crewman
yelled, “Commander, if you would only get the hell out of the way, maybe we
could get something done.”
When the crewman realized he had just shouted
at a Four Star Admiral, he tried to apologize.
But Admiral Nimitz’s response was: “Stick to
your guns, sailor – you were quite right.”
