That is very disapointing. I would have hoped an army officer 
would have a better understanding of these matters. Or maybe you 
were just an army lawyer.

You dismiss all the WWI generals as stupid and corrupt but then 
you get all teary when valid criticism is leveled at the US.

Perhaps you'd like to hear what I have to say about Churchil?

Your precious Eishenhower was a LTCOL in the Pentagon at the 
outbreak of WWII, had managed to miss WWI, had only one command 
(a battlaion)and had no combat experience at all but somehow 
managed to become Supreme Commander of Nth Africa by Feb 1943. 
Let's not mention how Montgomery's Operation Comet turned into 
Operation Market Garden and how Eishenhower managed to pin that 
on Monty.

MacArthur fucked up just about everything he touched nearly 
losing the Korea War, but he did look good in the movies which 
impresses Seppos.

Patton was one of the worst generals of all time. He was very 
lucky he was always in a strong position, if he had faced a fresh 
Rommel he would have lost his entire command. But he had a big 
flag and macho uniform.

Why would I care about that?

That's a lovely story. Shame you didn't ask the French who Petain 
was.
