You said “Calvary”.
Cavalry = Horses
Calvary - the hill, also known as Golgotha, where Jesus was crucified.
I noticed this because it’s a mistake I made once long ago.
Patton was an observant Christian.
The guy who was court martialed was, as someone else stated, Billy Mitchell.
Doolittle was never in any conflict with the brass as far as I know. He received the first Ph.D in aeronautics issued by MIT in 1925. He was born in Alameda, CA, although raised in Alaska. When he left for the Tokyo raid from the Alameda NAS he was about four or five miles, maybe less, from the house where he was born.
My dad met him in the late 60s or early 70s.
Ah. My bad.
That must have been something. I wonder if we still have it in us as a country - that grit.
We look back, and we know how the war ends.
They didn’t know how it was going to end, or if it would end.
Patton saw ‘carts’ in his dreams. Carriages. The Germans were using horse drawn carts to haul things in and out of battle. That was a sign for him they might be winning.
