Tommy Franks

In 1969, he decided to leave the service, but his idea changed after choosing the Bootstrap degree of the army to complete the course.

With the rise of Frank 's army, in June 2000 he was promoted to Commander St. Com, who is in charge of military operations in 25 countries, and became a 4 - star general. According to the report, Frank did not get along with Defense Secretary Donna De Feld for the first time, but the two had close working relationships after attacking the United States on September 11, 2001. On the second day after the attack, Rumsfeld ordered Franks to begin a revenge plan. And on 7th October 2001, Afghanistan, where the bombing of Afghanistan began, is protecting al-Qaeda members and it is believed that the Islamic extremist group is in charge of the September attack.

After the collapse of the Taliban regime, the US military in Afghanistan could not achieve one of the main goals of capturing or killing Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, but the strategy was considered successful. Franks was accused of overthrowing the Hadamu regime in Iraq. On 20th March 2003, the United States and the Allied forces began attacking Iraq and soon beat Ṣaddām and his Bath Party. Despite its initial success, Frank planned and executed the invasion and later criticized it as the fight continued.

The date on September 11 is coincidental. This is the only day of September, and the general Tommy Franks schedule is consistent with the schedule of the cigar enthusiast editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken. But this pessimistic anniversary is the perfect backdrop for the first interview after Frankfurt retired. The characteristic of this day is a small group of Americans waving flags on a small road that is the hometown of Tampa, Florida, and a yellow ribbon with utility pole and palm trees on the streets of the city. Franks served in his country for 37 years, won three purple hearts and won three bronze stars in his career.
