” Imagine if the Battle of the Bulge happened today. Ike would have been hauled before Congress.”

It wouldn’t have been the first time in history that a Committee on Conduct of the War sat in Congress. The Continental Congress also continued to ride General Washington mercilessly as well. Politicians don’t know when to leave general officers alone and when not to, with some very rare cases.
