[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Remember Patton was relieved for his views on the Russians in the immediate post war period in Europe.He was right of course.That was the start of taking down generals who opposed the president and the state(commie) department and it culminated with the firing of MacAurthur during the Korean war.

You make excellent points...first it was Patton, then MacArthur. Interesting, both were line officers, not REMF types, leaders not administrators and winners rather than conciliatory.

I would also toss Shermin into the mix of whom we need.

As far as the Ruskies go, my uncle was stationed in far North Korea in a PBM squadron told me that at the end of WW2 his planes were shot at by the Ruskies over Manchuria. He strongly believed that Patton was right, that was the time to finish off the commies. Of course they could not engage them as their planes had been decommissioned by then.

He also made a comment about Democrats and Republicans being like the Nazis in terms of putting their people in charge of government services and so on, probably prodded by a reporter it is said.
