A General who reads Yeats

in an article about General Stanley McChrystal-- a top US commander in Afghanistan --

". . . at a particularly dreadful moment during the Iraq war, McChrystal sent his special operators copies of the Yeats poem "The Second Coming." He directed their attention to the lines "The best lack all conviction, while the worst/ are full of passionate intensity" and told them that their mission was to turn those lines around,."
