John Wheeler

John Wheeler was one of the outer planets of the solar system in the capital, do not approach the sun, but the creation of businesses in the country in an elliptical orbit so close to the heat from time to time. I remember discussing the situation of Vietnam veterans with him - and his fight for a memorial to their sacrifice - made and think about the threat of cyber-war United States. Of course, the subjects were 180 degrees and three years of separation, but that the nature of the Renaissance man was Jack Wheeler.
It was a shock for all of us that knew Wheeler - West Point (1966), Harvard (1969) and Yale (1975) - finished dead at a landfill in Delaware on Friday. There is little public knowledge about the last days of the Wheeler, while on an Amtrak train from the capital in Wilmington, Delaware viewed on Tuesday. His body was found in a garbage truck - after the harvest after 10 containers on the east side of Newark, Delaware, unload their cargo in a landfill. The police did not say how he died. He lived in the vicinity of New Castle, Delaware is with his wife, Katherine Klyce, silk business in New York in Cambodia.
Although he never saw combat in Vietnam, said veterans of his country have been ignored, and together with Jan Scruggs, the Vietnam Memorial Wall veterans in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial building Washington. Originally derided as "black wound of shame," one of the most visited and well of the nation since its inception almost 30 years. "I know how passionate you to all who serve their country honor," said Scruggs, "and especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice."
After his military service, Wheeler cycle between government jobs and public sector, which the Securities and Exchange Commission in the 1980s, helping to create the Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program in the Reagan Administration and the Board of preservation of the earth during the first Bush administration. Mothers Against Drunk Driving directed from 1985 to 1987 and finished his career in government as Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force from 2005 to 2008. "It was a complex man very strong (and possibly changing) friendship, passion and causes" old friend James wasteland, said at the site of the Atlantic. "His last crusade was to bring to the campus ROTC elite."
He could be consumed by the data: while an officer, wrote the first textbook joint biological and chemical munitions effectiveness and the accompanying analysis of the government's decision not to support biological weapons. It was part of a team of experts to the nation's nuclear plans anti-approved war. In the same direction - Wheeler struggled all his life for the country for those who wore his uniform of honor - he wrote in April to what he called a lack of Medal of Honor, the company received the implementation of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq awarded . Wheeler is harvested, a stew of pride, patriotism and Mathematics:
I have a theoretical analysis of the magnitude of decline in the number of medals in the War OEF OIF compared to previous wars and the results speak for themselves. My calculations, which a preliminary, but suggestive, are based on historical data. The measure I received 10,000 days of fighting soldiers (TCD) for Medal of Honor - 10,000 TCD by the Ministry of Health ... There are more than 20 times the limit for the reimbursement of the OEF-OIF compared to previous wars. That more than 95% of the price for the Ministry of Health in comparing apples with apples cut with other wars. change by varying the assumptions, not the size of the comparative slowdown. This is a drastic reduction in research and in honor of their value in OEF-OIF.
He proposed the creation of a value recognition of the Audit Committee to fill the gap. Courage to defend the little guys with the unknown soldier enough to his grandson that is the legacy of Jack Wheeler known.
