You didn't say anything about your grandfather.

You do know who ordered the 101st into Bastonge?
none other than the VIII Corps commander, Troy Middleton (yes the guy that the LSU Library is named after)
What kind of question is that? Of course he knew that!

Darth,
I believe you but you didn't make any reference to your grandfather in your original post. We're not mind readers and appreciate your granddads service to his country.

The reason i did not mention him in the OP was because the OP was about the message given to the Germans. Later someone mentioned how the 101st reacted to being relieved. Well my grandfather was part of that relief. The only reason I mentioned him was due to the natural progression of the conversation in the thread where someone else mentioned an aspect of the battle that had to do with my grandfather.

Fair enough and it's certainly something in your family history to be proud of.

WTF?
Dr Tyger posted a quote from Joe Toye about Patton "saving" the 101st. Darth replied, on a personal note, my grandfather was a tanker in the 4th Armored Div and his unit spearheaded Patton's counterattack at Bastogne.
Where's the confusion? The post hasn't been deleted. Read the thread...

don't bother, it's gone totally over his head. Either he's an idiot, a dick, or both.
ETA For those who don't understand what's going on. The 101st & 10th were cut off and encircled in Bastogne. Gen. Patton's 4th Armored Div (which my grandfather was a member of) was the division that broke through the German line around Bastogne and relieved the 101st Airborne & 10th Armored.

Yankeeundercover is the tool. I responded to VAbuckeye because his was the last post and the second one that was confused.

For clarification, he replied to himself asking who would be so callus as to downvote and defended his grandfather... I surmised that he meant that someone saw something in the OP and downvoted despite his grandfather having passed. I merely was pointing out, just as you did just now, that he didn't mention his grandfather and thusly, must have been having a conversation in his own head about what he posted.
Dammit, I'm a fricking veteran myself!
