Point taken. I should say that in my numerous contacts with DT he has never come across as a "people-person" and what talents he has in fiscal control are not matched in personality. He projects a dour, authoritarian arrogance rather than the openness and gregarious nature of his predecessors, something which is not conducive to a line of new commanders forming outside his office in an anxious wait to shake his hand.
Now the soap-box bit:
None of the past nine years shenanigans has been the consequence of a one-sided pig-headedness. If Mr. T wants to go down in the books alongside PS and RE the vehicle to achieve it is staring him in the face. It will take a giant to take the first step to conciliation, and all I can see are dwarfs.
