“As Bull Halsey says in my tagline, “attack, repeat, attack.”

Cool quote. Can you clarify what he meant since you tag line is missing the second coma. Did he mean attack, then repeat the attack, or was he simply making sure his commanders understood his order to attack by repeating it?

"Eats (,) shoots and leaves"

You know I have been meaning to add the comma to my tagline for some time. Halsey meant that his subordinate commander who had sighted the enemy fleet should attack.

But no one who knows the character of William F. Halsey would doubt for a minute that he would expect his subordinate to attack again if the first attack did not finish the job.

I think Halsey would shape up our Republican leaders in a hurry.

There, I just added the comma.
