T110's Third Summer of Love and Tolerance

The_Chieftain:   Hopefully you read the whole document, though. It's actually fairly well researched, the man did some archive digging himself. If it was a court judgement, I'd be "concurs in part, dissents in part." He acknowledges the competing needs of the war-winning effort with the fact that the guys on the pointy end don't care about strategic logistics, and that Ordnance was over-exaggerating its own capabilities. He also doesn't fall for the McNair blame game too much: From that document "He and AGF never stifled any developmental effort at Ordnance and were correct in their decision not to produce the flawed T23. While McNair and AGF may have been guilty of being too doctrine bound, neither the General nor the organization he led added a single day to the time required to place the Pershing in service". which is even more generous to AGF than I am. (I put the delay at up to two months, without guarantee of effectiveness). There are certainly some parts with which I disagree, but it's actually not bad, and one of the citations has caused me to spend $12 on a new book to read.
