He was probably micro-managing too much,i agree. That seems to be the American way since WW2.They need to boot them media schmucks out of there and take care of business.Let the military do what it was meant to do,break things.

I found some sites with information about a John Willey. I hope at least one of these is the soldier you are looking for.

This was a little before my time, but you might enjoy taking a look at the USS Magoffin APA-199 Veterans Association.  And sure enough Sam Rubin is listed as the officer in charge of Membership/Ships Store/Past President/Editor for the association.\n\nTell your grandpa the website is very well done.

Waffen SS. Before you call me names, consider this:\n\nSome divisions lost over 90% of their strength in seminal battles on the eastern front, like the Demjansk pocket or before Moscow, yet still held the line. \n\nI don't know of any other force doing this. To sum it up, they never surrendered (no matter the odds) and rarely retreated (only case I know of was in 1945, facing a manpower ratio of 1:25).\n\nFinally, their exploits are well documented (as opposed to some ancient formations that might be partially legend) and they had ample opportunity to prove themselves in that titanic struggle that was WW 2 (as opposed to some ultra-special forces that engage once in a blue moon).

MacArthur was an amazing general during the Pacific part of WWII. he was responsible for many of the victories we had in the Pacific and he used the method of island hopping to take over island after island. why he was chosen over other i don't know but he was a great general which i am sure played a large part.

I worked for Germans ..its in their blood. When people think of "the GESTAPO" they think of b movie SS guys following you around. That was not true. The GESTAPO for the most part were just beurocrats, clerks for the most part who shifted through info that people were giving them. The neighbors WOULD SPY ON EACH OTHER, and they would turn each other in. In East Germany they kept the same system, but it was the STASI. I have some eurotrash german neighbors, and the grandma said knew by boss and would report me cause I told her to shut the he11 up!My old job I was told on all the time, either to the boss, or to the friggin union, because I wouldnt put up with their crap.The left wing guys over here are really funny...they will spend all day talking about how they hate the cops and how they are big anarcists and the law is all scum, but again when I told a guy he was full of it the first thing he screamed was "Im gonna call the police"  I really wish we gave them the Morgantau Plan instead of the Marshall Plan

I LOVE Lord of the Flies. \nWell, here goes:\nWW2 started in the Pacific in 1937. It started in Europe in 1939 when the Germans invaded Poland and defeated the nation a month or so later. They also ended up invading and conquering the Netherlands, Denmark, the Balkans, Greece, etc.\nThe Germans were doing great; in fact, they were even defeating the British, when they stupidly invaded the Soviet Union in June of 1940. They managed to get all the way into the mainland (Russia), but were beaten back after the siege of Leningrad ended, Moscow was not taken, and Stalingrad was won by the Soviets.\nMeanwhile the Americans were attacked in 1941 by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. The US was already mobilizing for war, and the day after Pearl Harbor, our congress declared war on Japan. A day after that, Germany declared war on us. We spent a while training our troops, meanwhile sending many to the Pacific theater early on in 1942 to fight Japan. We finally went into Continental Europe with the Brits and Canadians on June 6, 1944 or D-day. We won, pushing the Germans east out of France. The Italians abandoned their allies the Germans, and sided with the Americans and company.\nWe went into Belgium and the Netherlands with our allies the British and Canadians, liberated them, then finally penetrated Germany itself.\nWe were about to take Berlin, but decided against it. We allowed the Soviets to take it instead, because they were more willing to tolerate the huge amount of casualties it took to take that one city.\nIn the Pacific, we island hopped, meaning we liberated island after island. We were about to go into Tokyo, but decided against it. Too many casualties. So, instead of course we dropped the atomic bombs! \nIn the end both Germany and her remaining allies, Hungary, Romania, etc. surrendered, as did Japan in the pacific.\nHitler killed himself, as did most of his staff, and the Japanese people were forbidden by the US to "emperor worship", which is what caused the war in Japan in the first place.\nHope this helps.

(m)\n\nThe Lead Up to World War 2\nChemical Cartels\nWithout a doubt, a key player in the cause of World War 2 was the powerful Adolf Hitler.  But the major source of Hitler's power came from a chemical cartel called I.G. Farben, (the name is an abbreviation of the complete name: Interssen Gemeinschaft Farben.) The importance of I.G. Farben's support for the Socialist movement was pointed out in a book about the cartel, in which it is stated: "without I.G.'s immense production facilities, its far reaching research, varied technical experience and overall concentration of economic power, Germany would not have been in a position to start its aggressive war in September, 1939."1\n\nBut I.G. Farben had a little-known source of its enormous economic power: Wall Street, U.S.A. "Without the capital supplied by Wall Street, there would have been no I.G. Farben in the first place, and almost certainly no Adolf Hitler and World War II."2\n\nI.G. Farben had its beginning in 1924 when American banker Charles Dawes arranged a series of foreign loans totalling $800 million to consolidate gigantic chemical and steel combinations into cartels, one of which was I.G. Farben. Professor Can-oil Quigley terms the Dawes Plan: "largely a J.P. Morgan production."3\n\nThree Wall Street houses, Dillon, Read & Co.; Harris, Forbes & Co.; and National City handled three-quarters of the loans used to create these cartels.\n\nThe importance of LG. Farben to the plans of the German Nazi Party can be illustrated by a product that an I.G. dominated company manufactured. It was called Zyklon B, the lethal gas utilized by the exterminators at Auschwitz, Bitterfeld, Walfen, Hoechst, Agfa, Ludwigshafen, and Buchenwald. (I.G. Farben, being a chemical company even before it was merged with other chemical companies to form the cartel, was also the producer of the chlorine gas used during World War I.) American support for I.G. Farben continued as Henry Ford merged his German assets with those of I.G. in 1928.4\n\nBut the real importance of I.G. to the war efforts of Adolf Hitler came in the utilization of the process known as hydrogenation, the production of gasoline from coal, created by the I.G. Farben chemical cartel. Germany had no native gasoline production capabilities, and this was one of the main reasons it lost World War I. A German scientist discovered the process of converting coal (Germany was the possessor of large quantities of coal) into gasoline in 1909, but the technology was not completely developed during the war. In August, 1927, Standard Oil agreed to embark on a cooperative program of research and development of the hydrogenation process to refine the oil necessary for Germany to prepare for World War II.\n\nAnd finally, on November 9, 1929, these two giant companies signed a cartel agreement that had two objectives:\n\nFirst, the cartel agreement granted Standard Oil one-half of all rights to the hydrogenation process in all countries of the world except Germany; and\n\nSecondly, the two agreed: "... never to compete with each other in the fields of chemistry and petroleum products. In the future, if Standard Oil wished to enter the broad field of industrial chemicals or drugs, it would do so only as a partner of Farben.\n\nFarben, in turn, agreed never to enter the field of petroleum except as a joint venture with Standard."5\n\nThis cartel agreement was extremely important to the war effort, because, by the end of the war, Germany was producing about seventy-five percent of its fuel synthetically.\n\nBut even more significant was the fact that these plants were not the subject of Allied bombing raids, so that, by the war's end, twenty-five to thirty of its refineries were still operating with only about fifteen percent damage.\n\nStandard Oil got into the refining business as well. In fact, William Dodd, the U.S. Ambassador in Germany, wrote the following in his diary about the pre-war
