"I could just scream."

Serial fibber Brian Williams told yet another whopper on Friday night from his home in MSNBC exile known as The 11th Hour with Brian Williams. So what else is new? What makes his latest historical untruth ironically special is it came as Williams along with historian Michael Beschloss were fact checking President Donald Trump for a supposed error he made during his speech at a rally in Lebanon, Ohio on Friday.
For years following the Civil War, many historians as well as much of the public in general discounted the military abilities of General Ulysses S. Grant by claiming he was able to accomplish his victories primarily due to the overwhelming men and material of the North as well as being willing to expend both in a more than necessary manner on the battlefield. So when Trump mentioned in his speech that Grant is finally being respected as a great general as has happened, this set both Brian Williams and Beschloss off in snark mode.

Yes but I my point was that Williams was saying he served under Ike because Ike was over everyone (in his theater) so the equivalent would have been Macarthur or Nimitz in the Pacific. His specific boss was probably a Lieutenant or at most an LCDR, someone that the general public has never heard of.
One of the crew was Jack Soo.
Wasn’t he overdone?
I heard a rumor that JFK and McHale had several run in’s.
The Solomon Islands were split between Nimitz and MacArthur.
PT-109 was last based on Rendova which may have been in MacArthur’s area,

McHale, in my office! Now!
One of JFK’s seniors was John Mitchell, later better known as Nixon’s Attorney General.
Sgt. O’Roarke really ran things at Fort Courage.
Now at Fort Laramie, Lee Quince would have him and Agarn in the stockade in mere minutes.
Yes, see my post:
As part of the bicentennial celebration, George Washington was, 177 years after his death, permanently made senior to all other US generals/admirals, with the title general of the armies, effective on 4 July 1976. The appointment stated he was to have “rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present.”
Uhmmm..
Kennedy, Navy.
Ike, Army.
Brian Williams, Imbecile.
If one has read history:
JFK "VOLUNTEERED" to go to the Pacific theater,because J Edger Hoover caught JFK sleeping with a Nazi spy in DC
Maybe Fibber thinks the Pacific is somewhere in the Mediterranean.
And they were searching for Amelia Earhart in the islands somewhere around Italy.
In parts of the south they would say that he’s “eaten up with the dumbass”.
Wrong, MacArthur was not superior to Admiral Nimitz. The theater was divided between the two.
JFK was going to be Court Marshaled for the loss of PT-109 as he was idling when the PT-109 was ran over, Joe Kennedy had to go all the way to FDR to get the Navy to drop charges..
Yep, you are correct...
OTOH, PT-109 was destroyed about a year prior to D-Day...
[ What a dummy. JFK was under Gen. George Washington when he served on PT boats in the Pacific during WW2.]
Be careful what you say 43, Representative Hank Johnson from Georgia might pick up the information and run with it.
Congressman Hank Johnson fears Guam will tip over, March ...

"I could just scream."
So where does Sen. Blumenthal fit into the picture?
Maybe John (Horseface) Kerry?
That would ultimately be Admiral Nimitz.
The painting of Washington crossing the Delaware in PT 109 is seared in my memory.
