Stay safe.

As much history as we've done here at the Foxhole I did not know about MG Fox Conner. I just started reading "The Bitter Woods" by John S.D. Eisenhower and there was his name. I knew I had to find out more.

All right - a new Foxhole thread!

I didn't know about this gentleman. What a great find and great read.

I'm a big Ike fan and this is fascinating. Boy, would history have been different if Ike had left the Army before WWII.

Ike also understood the importance of good staff work and planning to achieving an objective. I wonder if he first got that from Conner, too?
