Spaatz, like other generals, was a killer of men. In the winter and spring of 1944, he began a campaign of straightforward attrition against the Luftwaffe day-fighter force for the purpose of extinguishing its capacity to interfere with American bomber operations and the upcoming cross-channel invasion.

We need these types of generals today! We've become too PC.

Good morning and thanks for the story on Spaatz. I love the quote too, he didn't bother to read the Stratigic Bombing Survey "We won the war," Spaatz said, "and I was never interested enough to read it."

LOL! Good man.

The secret is to be efficient at it, a successful general is one who can kill the most men with the least amount of effort while keeping his losses as low as possible.
