yet you think the french could have driven the Germans out without US
help?
You need to learn the difference between "necessary" and "useful"



"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one
behind me." --- General George S. Patton

Eisenhower (Gen. Patton's Boss.)

Yes, Eisenhower was quite skilled in politics, something Patton was not
skilled in. Guess which one would give you the straight poop?

Actually, Patton would.

"Patton was not merely a great tactician, as Eisenhower seemed to think in
deprecating his larger advice about the nature and purpose of the war.
Indeed, he understood far more about strategy and global politics than did
either Eisenhower or Bradley."

Guess who led the Allies to victory in the war, rather than just the
battles? Straight poop indeed.

Maybe I missed something, but I wasn't aware that Dick Cheney was
involved in WW II. Are you lost or do you know something the rest of us
don't?

Hell, WW II was Bush's fault, and Cheney was an accomplice.
