The baddest: the Army has its Gen. Patton, the Navy its Admiral Halsey, the Marines its Chesty Puller, the Air Force? Who else but LeMay. He was tough as nails that guy.
General Le May was a damn fine officer and great leader. I remember watching the movie "Thirteen Days", starring Kevin Costner, about the Cuban Missile Crisis, and how Le May was portrayed as being a caricature of a mindless warmonger. Sadly, I know quite a few people who also saw this movie and, because of it, completely believe that were it not for Kennedy that Le May and the rest of the Joint Chiefs would have conducted a coup and started a nuclear war.
