A Lieutenant General in the Army and environmental activist who took Hochschild up the Mississippi river while he was running for Governor of Louisiana. “The General” famously led the rescue effort during Hurricane Katrina and is one of the few politically-minded people Hochschild encounters who recognizes the government’s close ties to the oil industry and wants to put stricter environmental regulations into place. He sees Louisianans as victims of a psychological program aimed at convincing them that they have to choose between their jobs and the environment.
