Well ricmc2175 does have a Ph.D. and a 178 IQ. Didn’t he tell you? Which means he is instantly the authority on any subject.

Facts bother you when they refute your insults? Right!

The political general who ran this campaign lost more men at D-Day than MacArthur lost retaking the entire south Pacific.

Eisenhower was a political general, but that's exactly what was required in that job. There were incredible tensions between the Americans and the Brits, and I doubt there was another American who could have held them together as well as Eisenhower did, given the vast array of prima donna generals and politicians on both sides. Montgomery actually came up to him on VE Day and apologized, sort of.

I blew through the Atkinson trilogy last year, and the ONLY guy I came away with a heightened opinion of was Eisenhower.

Sort of figured that. IAC, At 82 I cannot be offended by being called “rude”.
However, I am offended by giving credit for winning the war in the Pacific to some dogface general.
