Guess he won’t be making an NFL comeback now. Always thought Colin was a terrible QB anyways.

Fox News has been treating the story as if he were a former president. I've seen no mention of it on all the other major media outlets.

That's because they would have to say, "He was fully vaccinated and still died." And they are not going to say that.

I got the chance to meet him and hear him speak when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He spoke to my MBA class at UT Knoxville. Very interesting man.

George H. Bush appoints him as Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff and George W Bush appoints him for Secretary of State, when Obummer takes office in 2008 Colin decides he does not like the Republican party anymore and buddies up to Obama.

He hates Trump and loves Biden.scratch

He appeared to be a great American Patriot until his brother from another mother took office in 2008.

May the man rest in peace, but make no mistake, he was as much NWO as the Bushes, Clintons and all the rest of them! Oh, remember the Iran-Contra debacle?

Personally had no use for him....he stopped the first Iraq war before it was finished....

Appreciate his service but not his political influence.

This, absolutely useless as Chairman of the JCOS.

Thank you for your service though.

Met him a couple times. Always nice.

I’m I the only one thinking the shot may have contributed to his death?

The vaccine has a limited uptake in the elderly, Powell was also battling cancer, a medical assessment before covid, would have rated him as clinically fragile. The flu would have killed him just as easily.

Reports say the dude had been battling multiple myeloma. Do you know what that form of blood cancer does to one’s immune system?

During the 1991 Persian Gulf War General Norman Schwarzkopf called him a flower carrying general. No nutz. Schwarzkopf was a Killer. Remember the Highway of Death? A massacre.

Yup. Since Covid hit him it is a Covid death. Doesn’t matter what was wrong with him.

On my Grandparents 50th wedding anniversary he mailed them a congrats letter and signed photo of himself. It was handwritten. Thats about all the good I will say about the man.

He was battling a blood cancer as well. Any illness could have killed him.
