Documentary - No Bridge Too Far

[Walt's Daughter]

Well the Americans were ALL GREEN! That wasn't a fault, but merely a true reflection. Hell, we hadn't been at war since 1918! It was a learning experience for all; from many of the generals, right down to the privates.

 

Even General Truscott admits that he had no REAL WAR EXPERIENCE. He was book smart and savvy, but learned with the rest. He took what he learned and applied it to the real world.

 

Ernie wasn't saying we couldn't do the job, it's just that we had a long way to go. But what he and others HAVE said was, we picked up, did what we had to do, and learned quickly. It was a true reflection of American spirit and what we could do, when put to task.

 

 

Once again, thanks for responding here. It sometimes feels pretty lonely at this end. You and merely a handful of members, ever leave comments regarding the documentary. It often feels like a forgotten topic...
