We would not have anywhere near the economy that we have today without the Interstate system.

Transport was one of the only things about war Ike understood.

Too bad there wasn't an internet 60 years ago so that Freepers could have pointed out to the Supreme Allied Commander how little he knew.

Little early in the day to have your nose in the slop jar isn't it?? Out of curiosity....just what shortcoming do you find in the General's ability to understand war that you take issue with??

Are you sure about that? So Ike didn't win the war fast enough for you? Maybe you should examine Field Marshal Montgomery a little closer. Or how about the parts of the Roosevelt administration that feared Allied forces would meet the Russians some where near what is now the western Polish boarder and start slugging it out with each other.

So General Napoleon, why don't you tell us how much more you understand.

Ike was an outstanding manager who was excellent at delegating authority. We need such folks in war (and peace).
