Well Fred was wrong about one thing and half-wrong about another. This of us who stay home on NYE are truly the amateurs. We'd get killed if we tried to run with the real drinkers in the world. The good thing is that we know this and just stay home. Second issue I have with the article is MacArthur running the Pacific Campaign against Japan. It's half true. MacArthur ran the Army side of things while Chester Nimitz ran the Navy and Marines. This caused some difficulties but they were able to work it out. Both men were great leaders but they had their flaws.
