ORIGINAL: blnymph FR "Kill kill kill" and people like LeMay are not the solution, they were the cause. How about accomodate, accomodate, accomodate, people like Chamberlain were the cause, not the solution. She is German, her hatred for LeMay is understandable. She is probably still upset about the Berlin airlift keeping the freedom lover's from starvation by the commiescum. Why would you think that? Unless you think LeMay had anything at all to do with either the decision to counteract the Soviet blockade with the airlift or to do with the overall organization of it. All he did was schedule the US army planes, as ordered. Lucius Clay was the commander of US forces there and the one who decided it was both necessary and practicable and convinced Washington to do it, and he and his British counterpart did the planning and implementation, the British already having experience supplying their own quarter up to that point. Earlier in the discussion, though; "Commander of United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) General Curtis LeMay reportedly favoured an aggressive response to the blockade, in which his B-29s with fighter escort would approach Soviet air bases while ground troops attempted to reach Berlin; Washington vetoed the plan." With ground troops, over 100+ miles of E Germany. Said the Air Force guy. Shows you how well his head was screwed on. And I am thinking the actual doer just like in WWII was Bob McNamara.
