I didn’t like FDR’s domestic policies, but he was a damn good war President.

Agreed. Part of FDR’s genius is that while he set the grand strategy objectives, he left it completely up to the generals to carry things out.

Contrast that with Lyndon Johnson and George W. Bush. Those two micromanaged their wars. And we lost those wars. There’s a lesson in there somewhere.
