Former COS George Marshall was promoted by FDR over more qualified generals even though he had no combat experience and his peace time commands were less than successful. Was he FDR's lapdog? On the day of Infamy, Marshall had the Japanese code in his hands but he delayed until it was too late to warn Pearl Harbor. Marshall's "leadership" during the war was lackluster and his peculiar decision to hold Ike's forces from taking Berlin ultimately led to the Russian "Iron Curtain. Marshall's appointment as Secretary/State after the war resulted in our ally the loyal Chinese giving up their arms and ushering in the Mao takeover. Marshall couldn't have been a better tool of the Communist/Socialist revolution if he was hired by Stalin.George Marshall got us involved in Vietnam. Johnson lied it into a war.
