Fuck them, they weren't there.

On the contrary, our leadership in World War 2 was so good that it's kind of spooky, both on the military side and on the civilian/political side.

What are the odds that we would get a Halsey AND a Nimitz, a Patton AND a MacArthur AND a Mark Clark AND an Omar Bradley and all the rest?

Leaving aside getting both FDR and Truman back-to-back.
