Lt. General Garry “Give Me My Damn Bombing Range or Else” Trexler Retires

From the Stars and Stripes:

Hundreds gathered on Knight Field on Thursday afternoon to bid farewell to the deputy commander of the United Nations Command and U.S. Forces Korea.

Air Force Lt. Gen. Garry R. Trexler is retiring after 35 years of service. He’s spent the past three years in South Korea, also as the commander of the Air Component Command for U.S. Air Forces Korea and commander of the 7th United States Air Force.

As I alluded to in my title, General Trexler will always be remembered by many as the one who put his foot down and issued this ultimatum to the ROK government, and guess what?  It worked.
