As far as WWII commanders go, I’d rather have Erich von Manstein running the country.

Heinz Guderian for me.

McArthur wasn’t all. Island hopping was far more effective. Patton was a very good field commander.

I'll take Bill Slim over any other WWII general, of any country.

Given my choice, I would want Admiral Nimitz running the country.

That was an Admiral who showed you could be a Leader, a gentleman, and a Man.
