How’d I forget about Marshall? He is one of the greats. I blame lack of coffee.

What he went on to accomplish after the war was even better. The Marshall Plan is the best example of winning the peace there is.

That’s one thing warmongers forget. After the war there is a lot to do and it has to be done right or too many people will have given up their lives for nothing.

I live pretty near where he had a home. Great man. And that’s a great point about warmongrels. Knowing how to make peace is arguably more important for a general than knowing how to make war. The Marshall Plan was an act of genius by him and Truman.
