bon jour Fried, just notice you have French citizenship........I didn't know that.

Say are wanting the debate to follow in order of your questions....i.e. was Clark an Idiot (yes), but under that should we be talking about the tactics of using almost green US divisions and the decision making going on in reference to cross the Rapido river and then into open county before the eyes of the Wehrmacht ? I would like the informed that have visited this CAssino battlefield to chime in repeatedly if they would with their first hand info on the terrain they encountered

You do know that this thread could get as large as "what happened today" ?

got to run gents........time to put another 55 plus miles on my bod ! yeah
