Morning Glory Snip & Sam~
A little rainy today so the golf clubs get a rest.
Today's thread brings back so many memories. The Powell quote, "cut off the head and kill 'em", is very Patton-esk, especially given the "giant "end run" by more than 250,000 soldiers spread over several hundred miles" similarity to "Operation Cobra" and the 100 miles Patton covered in 48hrs. to Bastogne. "Grab 'em by the nose and kick 'em in the ass." Different anatomy but similar feats. IMH and novice O.

Afternoon w_over_w. I saw a bit of Rommel in that plan too, Rommel would have been in heaven if he had our logistical capability.
