What a special person Fritz Kraemer was. His courageous and brilliant career was an example for us all. I had the highest respect for him.

with his sonorous voice: “No provocative weakness, please !” at the reception for the newly appointed Inspector General, Joe Schmitz, at the Pentagon in 2002. |

For me, Dr. Kraemer’s lifetime of service confirms the importance of the Nation’s elites in pursuing and advancing the value of a free society. I can think of no individual whose patient tutelage made a more meaningful contribution to the shaping of my own worldview.

The likes of Fritz Kraemer come along only once in a century. He was the Pentagon’s “only strategic thinker” and “only philosophie,” interested only in the truth.
