Lieutenant Colonel “Buzz” Peterson

Pop quiz, everyone: On a scale of zero to one hundred (zero meaning totally untrustworthy, one hundred meaning totally trustworthy), what score would you want a military office to earn before they were given the responsibility for “carrying the football.” That, of course, is the attaché case accompanying the President that contains the nuclear launch codes. Personally, I’d say either one hundred, or as close as humanly possible to that remark.

Lieutenant Colonel “Buzz” Peterson of the Air Force was assigned to carry the football for President Clinton for a number of years. After his retirement, he wrote a very interesting book. It has been my experience, at this point, hardly anyone is going to change their opinion about the Clintons. Be that as it may, I highly recommend the book.
