re: #185 lawhawk
You’re wrong Ryan. Halsey acted stupidly. /Ramius
Hmm. I’m missing the reference though it’s probably obvious. Though Halsey did have his problems leaving Taffy 3 in one hell of a spot.
I was thinking of his incompetent handling of the Philippine defense and, even worse, the New Guinea operations. Couple that with his most famous operation - Inchon was an exercise in luck, which I’ll grant he had that day, but that’s not how commanders should be operating.
