I remember reading that during the Gulf War Gen. Schwartzkopf also studied Rommel’s “Infantry Attacks.”

>>I remember reading that during the Gulf War Gen. Schwartzkopf also studied Rommel’s “Infantry Attacks.”

I vividly remember an interview with Schwartzkopf in the command bunker during GWI. He had a very spartan room with a single bed and a desk. On the desk was a copy of Maj. Gen. F. W. Von Mellenthin’s classic Panzer Battles: A Study of the Employment of Armor in the Second World War. I remembered the vignette so well because I had the book since I was a very young, having gotten it via the Military Book Club when I was probably 13 or so.

The top brass in our military are generally very well educated. Most of them have been through one of the three service academies for undergraduate, something like the Army’s Command and General Staff College which is a like a Master’s degree, the Army’s War College or similar, and perhaps an additional graduate degree from a civilian institution.

DEPLORABLES are going to have to study COUPONS to win the ANTI-TRUMP BREITBART war. Boycott is up to 223,703 with another 47 ANTI-TRUMP companies fighting back. It looks like the boycott is growing 1,000 + every 15 minutes.

The LIBS tried this on RUSH LIMBAUGH, and where did it get them? We DEPLORABLES may be expanding the economy by purchasing products from generic companies.
