We're in some agreement here. I read quite a few biographies when I was in
school (probably more than sci-fi). The bio on Ike was not very critical,
but I always found it odd that he was only a colonel until the United
States got into the war.

There were a number of US generals who, IMO, were better: Marshall,
MacArthur, Bradley, Patton, Collins, and Ridgway. I might include Middleton
and McLain, but I'm not as familiar with them.
