Many athletes have been drafted out of the University of Iowa and gone on to do impressive things. But not many have made as much of an impact as a former Hawkeye swimmer.
Wait ? a swimmer? Who was drafted?
It?s true. In the late 1960s, James Cartwright earned a swimming scholarship at Iowa. He was drafted by the military, however, not a professional sports team. During the next few decades, he rose to the rank of four-star general - and perhaps no one is more surprised by that than Cartwright himself.

As recently as last month, Gen. James "Hoss" Cartwright was known in Washington as "Obama's favorite general," a leading candidate to become the country's top military officer, and one of the biggest tech fiends ever to pin four stars to his shoulders. Now, Cartwright has been definitively ruled out as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Pentagon sources tell Danger Room -- the apparent victim of a nasty Beltway whisper campaign.
It means that the military leadership will be losing one of its more original thinkers, just as the Pentagon reconsiders, well, everything: the Afghanistan war, a growing rivalry with China, a budget that could get cut by $400 billion or more

Emerald Warrior is a special operations exercise that trains soldiers in urban and irregular warfare environments. Here, an aerial gunner reloads ammunition in flight during the exercise.

Military dogs are trained just as hard as their human counterparts. They usually work with one soldier (a "handler") who teaches them various controlled aggression tactics. A major training method is using a soldier wearing a "bite suit" to teach a dog when and how to attack.

Sometimes the military fires at themselves to train. Here, Navy sailors successfully conducted a test of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system, intercepting a medium-range missile launched from Hawaii.

Marines fire a Howitzer during a battle drill. They train so that they can fire five rounds in a minute, providing support fire for other troops.

Thank you for your support , On behalf of the US Army I want to use this opportunity to say a very big thanks to you for your prayer and also for the love towards the US Army , kindly visit my official new page like , comment and share or leave a message thank you.

President Obama summoned one of his favorite and most trusted military advisers, Marine Gen. James E. Cartwright, to the White House on May 21 for a one-on-one meeting. It was a Saturday, less than three weeks since the president had celebrated the death of Osama bin Laden with Cartwright and other members of his national security team. But this time, the president had bad news.
Over the previous year, Obama had asked Cartwright on three occasions if he’d be willing to serve as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest-ranking officer in the armed forces and principal military adviser to the president. According to two military officials close to Cartwright, who has served as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs since 2007, the general demurred the first two times, saying he was looking forward to retirement after a 40-year military career.
But in recent months Cartwright, 61, had relented and told the president he’d be willing to take the job when the term of the current chairman, Adm. Mike Mullen, ends, according to the military officials. That conversation didn’t include a formal job offer from Obama, but he reportedly told Cartwright, “You’re my guy.” Others in the White House and Pentagon also saw him as the leading contender.

Gen. James “Hoss” Cartwright, the former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was once described by Bob Woodward as President Obama’s “favorite general” for his advice on Iran and Afghanistan. In his last week in office, Obama may be paying Cartwright back for his counsel, pardoning him for lying to investigators about conversations he had with reporters about efforts to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program. Cartwright’s leaks were on a much smaller scale than those of Chelsea Manning, who had her sentence commuted Tuesday but were more typical of the record number of leakers prosecuted under the Obama administration.
