It's funny, doc, I pulled out my coffee table history of World War II. I noted that there was once a period of ... 2 or 3 days .... when nothing of note happened in a particular battle or advance.

Get Pershing on the radio to nitpick Ike's strategy!

FIRE MARSHALL! FIRE IKE! WHAT THE HELL IS NIMITZ DOING? LOL. Island hopping? Bypassing urban centers of little military value? Specially trained AIRBORNE assault units? Dropped from planes, in a matter of hours, behind enemy lines? Whose going walk next to the tanks and ride by the dozen for days on end in the back of trucks?

This is insanity. Day to day microanalysis of every mile traveled, every mission ordered.

That's a funny one, thanks!
