How dare I agree with Eisenhower, MacArthur, and Nimitz. Those unAmerican ********.
Eisenhower also appointed Earl Warren and William Brennan to the Supreme Court. These were decent guys, but they didn't get everything right.

Eisenhower didn't get everything right, for sure. In fact, I wish Robert Taft would have been the Republican Party nominee in 1952. But I would say that he knew how to wage war.
Deez,
Definitely his base was out of Britain early on but couldn’t say exactly where. All I know is he dropped paratroopers on DDay and spent his time hauling casualties out of Germany into England and Italy later. Like most vets he spoke to us very little about it, a pity really. I do know he was scared out of his mind during the drops.
Generally yes, but he got this wrong. The facts simply don't back his statement.
Mona?
I consider my base assumptions to be that IF the war had continued to Nov 1945 more American and Allied military would have died. What is false about that?
And there is this too. Russia was beginning to move against Japan in August:
I hope You don't really believe there wouldn't have been more American and Allied deaths if bombs had not be used. That is purely ridiculous.I don't think it was a done deal that more Americans would have died
Nah. He was right on war. That was his speciality. He was wrong on politics where he didn't have the same level of expertise.

The US had complete control of the air and sea. Japan was starving. The generals said no land invasion was necessary. No more US military had to die. The pressure was on as the Japanese starved. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. But I don't assume an outcome based on surface level statements and generalities.
Same situation they were in when they defended Okinawa to almost the last man--and many of our men died at Okinawa. This was the most determined enemy we have ever faced.Japan was starving. They were defeated.
The two most stubborn people on this forum will not concede it seems.
Wouldn't that actually double the number of homeless people?
