Imagine if all of the G.I.s with poor officers living in bad conditions were given carte blanche to desert to the enemy.

Gee, I guess those conditions never happened in military history.

We'd had a lot of deserations at Valley Forge, Tarawa, the Bulge, just to name a few right off the top of my head.

And there’s really no guarantee this was bad leadership in he sense of doltish or uncaring. It might have been inexperienced leadership.

It started at Valley Forge. Washington put an end to THAT. With a firing squad or two.
