That is my controversial take.
I stick to those guns.
And I think the efforts of the combined chiefs from the US and the UK, absolutely nothing short of astonishing.
Samuel Elliot Morrison put it best.
He said, the second greatest accomplishment of the US and the UK in World War II was not breaking faith with each other and just turning on each other and clawing at each other like some petty children.
Because it could have gone that way.
There's so many personalities.
There's so many different interests between the two camps.
And so being able to have these combined chiefs who can sit there together and work out all those differences and work out everything from who gets landing craft this year to what's the next avenue of advance that we're taking to how do we get Roosevelt and Churchill to...
you know, chill a little bit?
And then how do we look past victory to what the post-war looks like?
That's what the Combined Chiefs are doing.
It's amazing.
No one had ever done that before.
No one had ever managed that level of cooperation through some very rough and stormy times with so great success.
Almost too good, one might say, making it look like ending wars are easy.
Oh, boy.
So here's the thing.
If you're talking about a command that requires, especially something like a China Indian, if you look at also just even modern warfare, coalition warfare, the US likes to fight coalition warfare, usually, you have to go with Slim hands down, I think.
He's someone who is able to sort of do what everyone else does, do the logistics, do the administration, do the building morale, but do it across multinational levels.
