When General MacAuliffe made his legendary comment “Nuts!”, maybe he just wanted a salty snack to go with Vincent Speranza’s beer...

“...maybe he just wanted a salty snack”

What I’ve been told is, he didn’t actually say, “Nuts!”

He said, “Balls!”

When the German asked for American terms of surrender, commanding Gen. Anthony MacAuliffe famously replied, “Nuts!”

I was going to say that we have better documentation for Sgt Speranza's feat of brauhaus heroism than their is for BGen Anthony MacAuliffe's pithy quote. I've always believe an airborne general would probably have said something unprintable when asked to surrender.
