You're quite correct. Also, he prepared a communique before the landings to be used in the event of failure - in which he took the blame for it. I always liked that guy!



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[5thGenTexan]

Here is the way that I have heard it:

Everything you need to know about leadership was demonstrated in three letters from Dwight D. Eisenhower:

• One commending the troops for their efforts, regardless of the outcome,
• One praising the troops in the event of their success,
• One accepting all blame in the event of their failure.
