Thanks.

Too many people buy into the revisionist-history when it comes to McA. He did far better in the Pacific during WWII and Korea than Marhall and Eisenhower did in Europe.

McA gave Marshall an evaluation that stated he should never be given command of more than a regiment; and he described Eisenhower as "the best clerk I ever had."

McA was petty, and he had a tremendously inflated ego, but describing him as a military genius is NOT hyperbole.
