Gratz

General Grantz was a military officer in service during Day 2.

Day 2
General Grantz spoke at a meeting with President David Palmer, Mike Novick, Lynne Kresge, and others at CTU District Headquarters in Los Angeles. Vice President James Prescott and the Joint Chiefs were present via teleconferencing.

Grantz briefed the officials concerning the air response in the Middle East. He stated that bomb squadrons have been launched from three stateside bases, and that initial attacks will be launched from bases closer to the targets. President Palmer made a defensive remark to Grantz, but then apologized and thanked him and the armed services for their excellent work.

Grantz mentioned that the longer Palmer hesitated, the greater the American military casualties would be since the enemy had more time to prepare.
