      Interesting story. I have never hear of him, but quite a character and soldier. It appears that he had "command presence "

          BTW, his great-grandson is buried in Arlington and bears a unique distinction.

          Care to guess what it is?

                Ok, I think I've stumped you.

                He was the first American general to die in WW2.

                  Yeah, I googled it and saw, but I didn't want to cheat. He was an observer on a B-17 which was shot down.

                  However, reading the story, it jogged a memory, so maybe I used to know that.

                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    Shelby Foote said he and Lincoln were the two geniuses made by the war.

                    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                      Shelby is no longer PC.
