Did he explain why he had those particular feelings for those two men? I’d be interested to know from one who had “been there”.

I have never heard him say why he disliked Eisenhower. I do recall his one time saying that Montgomery was a fine Christian. I do know he was actually around both of them for a bit which is probably uncommon for enlisted men in WWII.

I do now recall him saying that Eisenhower betrayed Patton but I have read a couple of books about Patton and in fact Eisenhower stood by Patton when everyone was wanting to tar and feather him so Daddy was actually wrong about that.
