Successful trial lawyers impress me.

A defense attorney who beats the government consistently, I doff my hat to dat.

Like getting OJ off. That was impressive.

Roughly speaking, 1 in 100 people are impressed by my achievements at fame-worthy levels. Trying to find them is difficult because 9 out of 100 people work against me: call me names, minimize my accomplishments, dismiss my success. Got to plow through them, and there are a lot: the entire Democratic Party for one.

I am impressed by your achievements based on scale and scope.

You're a Renaissance Man.

You never indicated otherwise. In Smitty-speak, you’ve always been supportive.

Well, I think you meet the technical definition of Renaissance Man.

Military is still more impressive to me tho.

Test pilot astronaut, submarine captain, JSOC operator. That's the pinnacle.

None the less, for a civilian, you are very impressive.

I'm uneducated, the only way I can assess an academic, is based on how much money they've made, or how many court cases they've won.

Otherwise, it's all just underwater basket weaving.
How about how many buildings they’ve designed, or how many hearts they’ve transplanted, or how many charities they’ve funded? The degrees are impressive but what gets done with them is what inspires awe.

That all falls under money made, if you've produced by academics, you're gonna get paid, so I already addressed that.

Like if you're a vascular surgeon, it's like being a pro athlete, you're gonna make a lotta money with that skill.

Menwhile tho, Delta Operators don't make that much money, but they are literally superhuman.

You can’t take it with you never applied more than here. They all want a legacy more than money at the end of the day.

No military service? You're a nobody where I come from.

George Washington to Charles Beckwith, the most impressive Americans have always been military.
