General John Kelly Quintus

It took me a while to figure out what it was about General John Kelly that kept me unsettled.


Anyone who has seen and remembers Gladiator would surely recognize Quintus and see the parallels between Quintus and John Kelly. Both generals knowingly accepted a false leader, were promoted, and wound up doing the bidding of their respective leader even as they exhibited signs of moral conflict.

Quintus would later redeem himself to Maximus, and I'm just speculating here, but won't Kelly end up redeeming himself to James Comey?
