Even when it does harm, many Brits tend to have a high-handed, superior manner in dealing with Americans.
>Five star admiral Ernest King must have been well aware of this, he was renowned for his opposition to the Brits high-handedness, so much so some historians call him an anglo-phobe. Eisenhower,trying to get the chief of staffs to “work with the Brits,” said “somebody ought to shoot King.”
Ernie King had such a prickly personality that he was said to always be in a rage. Moreover, he would have put a greater effort into fighting Japan. That cannot have pleased Eisenhower, who was chronically hard pressed to get the needed naval resources, especially landing craft.
