vostoktrading Posted April 26, 2013 Share #28 Posted April 26, 2013 Re: Post 19 (Patriot). Robert E. Lee. IMHO probably the best general produced in what is now the United States. I always wondered what he looked like without his beard. Here's a picture from his younger days in the Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manayunkman Posted September 17, 2013 Share #39 Posted September 17, 2013 "Blood and Guts" Patton. While researching at the Library of Congress I found letters to Patton from several ladies who called him "Georgie Porgie". "Georgie Porgie" or "Blood and Guts" I love the photo with Ridgeway and his grenade. He's ready !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolyHappiness Posted September 18, 2013 Share #44 Posted September 18, 2013 Excellent, no one did my two favorites: Curtis "Bombs Away" LeMay Famous for his command of the 305th BG in the 8th AF during ww2. Here's a quote to illustrate who he was. "One of the commanders was Curtis LeMay—Colonel in command of a B-24 [sic] group. He was the finest combat commander of any service I came across in war. But he was extraordinarily belligerent, many thought brutal. He got the report. He issued an order. He said, 'I will be in the lead plane on every mission. Any plane that takes off will go over the target, or the crew will be court-martialed.' The abort rate dropped overnight. Now that's the kind of commander he was." -Robert McNamara Now finally..... Henry "Hap" Arnold Gen. Arnold's nickname, "Hap", is short for "Happy". It was given due to his near constant grin and because his obvious love for aviation and his job.
