Quiz. Unit of issue, one (1)

Bradley
You are General Omar N. Bradley (1893-1981).

People called you the GI General, and you were one
of Eisenhower's most reliable commanders in
Europe. After the war you served as the first
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.


Which WWII Allied General are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Bradley was always one of my favorites, and an excellent commander.

Yeah, I was hoping for Bradley or Eisenhower when I did mine, but I knew if it was done right I'd be getting Ol' Dwight. When I play wargames, or in any vaguely comparable situation in real life, I wait and plan until I have a ridiculous over abundance of strength and then I come in all steamroller-like. My idea of an even fight is where the other guy has a knife and I have an AK-47, a suit of medieval armor, and a pack of dogs with bees in their mouths.

Sounds fair to me. And it's even better if he's got one foot in a bucket of cement and is looking the other way.

the quiz selected Patton for me.

My next sword purchase will be a 1913 Patton Saber.

Yep. I'm Bradley.
The infantry can paint the lines after the artillery is finished.
