General Petraeus arrived and said hello to each veteran, some of whom shook his hand while others saluted. If General Petraeus had any idea of the hectic schedule that was still unfolding, he’d probably have wanted to get straight back into the war. It seemed like everyone in Holland wanted to see the vets, and despite that the old soldiers were in their eighties and nineties, they kept going and going.
Please join me in making a contribution to Michael's support page, here.And not to be missed: There's an interview with General Petraeus at the dispatch, here. Also, be sure to click through to the conclusion. You'll get direct reports on the war's progress you won't find anywhere else. Ultimate decision time in Washington is now.

Nice post, Dr D.

Thanks Dave!
Market Garden was amazing - a great idea - a great plan - sieze Rhine River bridges - blitz into the Saar and end the war by Xmas.
"Bridge Too Far" is pretty good and the book is outstanding. Out of 10k British airborn - only about 2k made it out of there.
Arnhem was were a war that was almost won was almost lost
