^ Two brigades is hardly a large force, so I'm not sure that really says that much.

That being said, I'm going to have to watch this movie. I think it Eisenhower's comments posess a tremendous amount of weight due to the fact that it is not a crack-pot leftist, but a moderate Republican who just happens to be a retired General of the Army* (one of only 9 in US history) and Supreme Commander, Allied Forces Europe.







* On an interesting side note: Eisenhower formally resigned his commission to run for President, his successor, John F. Kennedy, signed Pub.L. 87-3 on March 23, 1961 which returned Eisenhower to Active Duty of Regular Army in grade of General of the Army dated back to December 1944

It's an interesting documentary, although there's not really any new information to people who follow this stuff in the news.

And, as has been said, if you haven't seen The Fog of War, do so immediately.
