William E. DePuy Military person
William Eugene DePuy (/dɛˈpjuː/ de-PEW; October 1, 1919 – September 9, 1992) was a U.S. Army general and the first commander of the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command. He is widely regarded as one of the principal architects of the restructuring of U.S. Army doctrine after the American withdrawal from Vietnam."DePuy is one of the very small handful of very great soldiers that this country has produced in the 20th century. The Army owes him a great debt, an enormous debt. He set it on the path for the 21st century" - General Donn A. Starry
