Please just take a look at General Groves... Today he could not pass the "Pretty Boy GQ General Test" hell he could not even be in the Armed Forces of the United States

Of course he was one of only around 300 Generals and Admirals in command of 15 million GIs in WWII.

Today things are much tougher with 1.5 Million Active GIs now it requires 900 GQ Generals and Admirals all fit trim and well polished.


Please just take one more look at General Groves...

BMI Index..................Too fat
avoided the media..........Too silent
worked to Kill the enemy...Too dangerous

General Groves was an engineer. The closest he got to combat was a brief tour in France in 1918. His assignment immediately prior to the bomb had been to oversee the construction of a large five-sided office building next to the Potomac to house the armed forces' burgeoning bureaucracy. Done in 16 months for $83 million. I wonder what KBR would charge today?
