Powell had multiple myeloma, according to NBC News. It is a type of blood cancer that hurts the body’s ability to fight infections.

Rest in peace General.
A smart man who took on serious work and did it well.
A honorable man who admitted his mistakes. And did not tout his accomplishments.
Thank you for your service to our country.

Colin Powell was the Joint Chief of Staff during my service in Desert Shield/Desert Storm. I remember at the time feeling good about our leadership especially with Colin Powell there.

He always seemed like a good guy to me.
Same.
I remember watching the briefs by Powell and Norman Schwarzkopf back then. And my first thought was that the Iraq army didn’t stand a chance. Thank you for your service.
