A different question from who do I think was the best.

I'd like to sit next to Ike. I'd be interested in his reminiscences of the war.

Not in the picture but you are correct. Include a long and diverse list of American military leaders of WWII. ID LIKE TO KNOW from Nimitz WHY Halsey was not at least relieved for the second hurricane or His phantom carrier chase of Letters Gulf. I’d also like to hear from him why he did not bypass Pelileu when that was recommended. A lot of other decisions are easier to understand.

If I felt well prepared I would like to debate the Navy plan for island hopping vs Mac Arthur’s pathway to the Philippines and beyond. Why Halal pap pan and Indonesian oil was not focused on much earlier. Japan would have been frozen.

In Europe there are strategic questions but much was straight forward notwithstanding Market Garden.
