Now we have done a lot of general bashing ('scuse the punt).

But it leaves oen question:

Marshall selected:

Eisenhower (no strategic or tactical knowledge at all)
Vinegar Joe (maybe the most radical british-hater of all times)
Mark Clark (jeez)
MacArthur
... others?

I am not sure on King. Despite King not being greatly taken by the British, I do believe he was the right man for the job.

In essence, was Marshal good at putting the right commanders in place or did he just take what was there and hope for the best?
