And Anderson was a very good soldier.

And he could not, for the life of him, get Farindal to listen to him, to follow his orders and to actually operate in concert.

So that's the first problem.

There is a sort of a joint operation that's supposed to be happening between two national armies.

That's not working out.

And then the American commander doesn't tell his air support where they're supposed to be.

He doesn't tell the troops where they're supposed to go with any kind of accuracy.

And they're facing Erwin Rommel.

That's not going to work.

He's sent back stateside.

Sort of told, maybe train some people.

They're basically trying to make him feel important without giving him any real authority.

It's remarkable.

He's sort of disappeared.

You know, George McClellan just stands out.

Again, this was a guy that everybody needed to be good and he just couldn't rise to the occasion.

But I think Charles Lee also, you know, constant insubordination, trying to undermine your commander.

That's really sort of tough to stomach.

But in terms of putting their men at risk and unnecessarily exposing them to danger, I think our last candidate is probably up there as well.

Yeah.
