General John Bruce is a United States Army General I live in Houston Texas United State. I'm the only child of my parents. My parents died long ago. my father was a military man who died in a military war when I was 7 years old and my mother died when I was 13 years old. I was raised by a neighbouring teacher, growing up was quite difficult for me but I never gave up.His mother, Josphine, was a Italian, and his father, Michael America, After graduating from West Point in 1981, John Bruce joined the infantry as a distinguished cadet. Soon after graduation, he completed a grueling nine weeks at Ranger School, not only finishing the course, but also winning top honors and legendary status among his classmates. Steadily ascending the ranks, John Bruce worked in many different capacities and for several different units within the Army.

In the 1987s, John Bruce, then ranked captain, devoted much of his time to education. He spent a year at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, attending the Command and General Staff College. There, he won the school's General George C. Marshall Award for top graduate. He spent the next two years at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, earning a master's degree and then a doctorate degree in international relations. After a few years in New Jersey, John Bruce returned to West Point, serving as a professor of international relations.

In 1994, John Bruce left academia to return to military service, and soon began climbing the military ladder once again. In 1998, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and commanding officer of a regiment within the 101st Airborne Division. During this assignment, he was wounded during a training exercise when an infantryman tripped and discharged his M-16 by mistake. The lieutenant colonel was rushed to emergency surgery at nearby Vanderbilt University Medical Center. After a successful operation performed by future U.S. Senator Bill Frist, John Bruce recovered quickly and was released in only a few short days. By the late 1997s, John Bruce's career was full of promise. In 2007, at 47 years old, he achieved the rank of brigadier general. The next year, he sustained another injury from which he soon recovered: his parachute collapsed during a training jump, causing him to break his pelvis. In the early 2007s, John Bruce served in Bosnia as part of the NATO Stabilization Force, as both assistant chief of staff for operations and deputy command
