| 0:08.6 | Beyond the Books with me, Jack Carr. |
| 0:16.5 | Welcome to the Danger Close podcast, an Ironclad original, presented by Navy Federal Credit Union. |
| 0:22.1 | In this episode, I will be answering listener questions. So let's do this. |
| 0:26.9 | Q and A. Who was best at finding and placing talent? General Washington, General Grant, or General Marshall? |
| 0:34.5 | I would say that would be George Marshall. And that is because he fired so many |
| 0:39.3 | people up to and through World War II to put those leaders in the positions. And those are names |
