Colin Powell: Four-Star Gen Dead At 84.

Today, the top General that top Generals wished to become died of “COVID-19” complications, according to a message posted on Facebook by his family members. Eighty-four-year-old Colin Powell died at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center hospital after fighting a war of which he was not the commanding officer. The enemies of his immune defense barriers and system broke through and defeated his plasma B cells, or white blood cells, the body’s defenders from “enemy” invaders. Several news outlets report Powell had multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that reduced his ability to fight COVID-19, although he had taken the COVID-19 vaccination twice.

Second Lieutenant Colin Powell battled the enemies in South Vietnam, but his fight with a Chinese-made virus. 

The charismatic General turned diplomat served under four Presidents of both parties and twice received the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the last one gave to him by President Obama. Powell also served as the 16th United States National Security Advisor under President Ronald Reagan. Powell said his parents, who hailed from the Caribbean Island of Jamaica (on a Banana Boat), always instilled a sense of service to the country.

In 1989, Gen Powell under Pres Reagan became the first Black National Security Adviser. 

During the Persian Gulf War (1990 – 1991), Powell was the chairperson of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when the United States prosecuted the war under his leadership, along with General H. Norman Schwarzkopf at the helm in Iraq. The United States and several other nations drove the invading army of Iraq from Kuwait by raining down a blitzkrieg upon hundreds of thousands of Iraqi soldiers camped out in the desert, like headless chickens, waiting to fight a conventional war. In the year, 2012 General (Storming Norman) Schwarzkopf also died from lung complications disease. He was 78-years-old.

As news of the General turned state leader went out, there was pouring out of condolences and well-wishes posted on Social Media.
Under President George H. W. Bush, Former Vice President, posted: “I’m deeply saddened to learn that America has lost a leader and state leader. General Powell had a remarkably distinguished career, and I was fortunate to work with him.” Powell was the first Black U.S. secretary of state whose trailblazing set the stage for others to follow.
