    Default History: Ernie Cheatham

    https://www.wbur.org/onlyagame/2017/...heatham-bowden

    "Most Marines said that the helmet swam on their heads. But Ernie looked like he was born for it or maybe even a little bit too big for it," Bowden says. But even more important, Cheatham wasn't afraid to push back against his higher ups — and he listened to those he outranked.

    "Ernie Cheatham definitely had an experience with being fairly successful at something," Bowden says. "To have played in college and to be drafted by the NFL, even in the early 1950s, meant that you were a pretty remarkable athlete. And so I think you grow up with a sense of security in your own ability when you’ve had early success like that."

    I hear the Vietnamese people hold very little grudges. That true?
