'An Analysis Of A Message To Garcia'

A Message to Garcia was written in 1899, about a message that had to be delivered to a man named Garcia who was in an unknown location in the jungles of Cuba, without hesitation or question a man by the name of Rowan delivered the message for President McKinley. The story serves more as an inspiration due to the fact that Rowan delivered the message for President McKinley and that he put the trust in Rowan to deliver it by foot without asking what, when, how long and for what reason. That same leadership and trust that President McKinley had in Rowan is what every senior subordinate in the Marine Corps should be able to put in their chain of junior Marines to get the task done without any question, and the same traits and capabilities that
Rowan had is what every Marine should strive for and be able to do. It also compares to other people similar tasks to get done and how they would get lost on the way or distracted to the point that they would not complete the mission, or basically having character, in that what you would do if senior subordinates were away or at home and what you would do when no one is there to guide you or watch you complete the tasks that are given. Saying that Rowan could have easily gave up or just blew off the President and not complete the mission, but with the trust that the President had and the skills that Rowan had acquired, he was able to complete the task that was given to him with no hesitation or concerns.
