Push comes to shove, the Midwest. Grant, Eisenhower, Nimitz. All sort of bland, steady, reasonably intelligent and dogged killers right to the end. Think Soviet general that ignores the Party.

The Southerners make a big splash, but don't think things through.

New Englanders over-think things too much, get lawyerly, hair splitting and act too little.

Westerners don't want to have to do with anyone

Audie Murphy was from Texas. You don’t get the record he did without thinking things through.
