1) wife kept her bitch-ass mother-in-law around way too long 2) the Missouri political machine put him in office 3) Dem party picked him as VP for FDR because they knew FDR would croak and didn’t like the liberal VP 4) nuked Japan and ended WWII 5) started the Cold War 6) defended Korea from Korea (and the Chinese commies) 7) shit canned MacArthur who was advocating turning all of China into glass (probably his best move)

Speaking of Truman, have you read Truman by David McCullough? Seminal door-stop read.
That is all.
Great book. Starts to get a little TL;DR for @CFetters_Nacho_Lover attention span though.
McCullough is fine. The English guy who wrote Stalin’s War was tough.
Adding Truman to my list. Just finished Coldest Winter and have a newfound appreciation for Truman as president and my hatred of MacArthur has only increased.

Antony Beevor (spelling?) was the author of Stalingrad and Berlin. Great books but exhaustive.
MacArthur was massively overrated. Nimitz was/is the man
If you’re interested in Truman, the real story is how he started to ball rolling that ended up with helicopters evacuating the US Embassy in Saigon in 1975

Quite honestly Woodrow Wilson kicked it off at Versailles…

Not sure how any of that relates to Petersen
The Soviet of Washington

TrumanMacArthur, or Deboer?Not sure if anyone has seen 8-Bit Christmas (awesome movie), but Jim is rocking the Powerglove, which is mocked to hell in said movie.
I think lookin like a dork and a poor adaptation from Lawnmower man may have started it.
Mild disappointment and anger for blowing two leads against Oregon, sure
very good coach that got to three straight New Year's bowls, and a semi-final
We aren't Bammer, folks
