BUJGLER Tue, 26 Aug 2008 03:52:09 +0000 http://www.armchairgeneral.com/?p=2243#comment-724 OUTSTANDING PIECE OF WORK. THANK YOU. QUESTION: DID GENERAL MAC ARTHUR HAVE ANY HUMAN FEET ON THE GROUND INTELLIGENCE AS TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING ALONG THE YALU IN EARLY OCTOBER JUST BEFORE HE PROCEEDED NORTH? WHAT WAS THE DATE HE REQUESTED PERMISSION TO BOMB THE YALU BRIDGES.? IT IS MY RECOLLECTION THAT IT WAS IN THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER 1950. THE CHI COM FORCES CROSSED OVER SAID BRIDGES FROM 19 OCTOBER TO 28 OCTOBER. THEY MOVED 260,000 MEN INTO PLACE. IT WOULD SEEM IT WAS TOO LATE TO BOMB THE BRIDGES. BUT BOMBING THE BRIDGES WOULD HAVE CUT OFF THEIR SUPPLY LINES. THAT WOULD HAVE MAD ALL THE DIFFERENCE. I STUDIED THE BRIDGES. THEY WERE FORMIDABLE. OUTSTANDING CONSTRUCTION. THE PIERS WERE FORMIDABLE. UNLESS YOU DESTROYED THE PIERS COMPLETELY--THE REPLACEMENT TIME WOULD NOT BE OF ANY LASTING CONSEQUENCE. TO DO THE JOB RIGHT WOULD REQUIRE MASSIVE PRECISION BOMBING AND HUMAN INTELLIGENCE. THIS WAS A KEY FACTOR.LOGISTICS. WWII IT WAS LOGISTICS. WE BEAT THE GERMANS BY TAKING THEIR GASOLINE AWAY FROM THEM. THANKS AGAIN. GOD BLESS. JOHN W. BUGLER BUGLER.ORG OUTSTANDING PIECE OF WORK.

WHAT WAS THE DATE HE REQUESTED PERMISSION TO BOMB THE YALU BRIDGES.?

IT IS MY RECOLLECTION THAT IT WAS IN THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER 1950.

THE CHI COM FORCES CROSSED OVER SAID BRIDGES FROM 19 OCTOBER TO 28 OCTOBER. THEY MOVED 260,000 MEN INTO PLACE. IT WOULD SEEM IT WAS TOO LATE TO BOMB THE BRIDGES.

BUT BOMBING THE BRIDGES WOULD HAVE CUT OFF THEIR SUPPLY LINES.

THAT WOULD HAVE MAD ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

I STUDIED THE BRIDGES. THEY WERE FORMIDABLE. OUTSTANDING CONSTRUCTION.

THE PIERS WERE FORMIDABLE. UNLESS YOU DESTROYED THE PIERS COMPLETELY–THE REPLACEMENT TIME WOULD NOT BE OF ANY LASTING CONSEQUENCE.

TO DO THE JOB RIGHT WOULD REQUIRE MASSIVE PRECISION BOMBING AND HUMAN INTELLIGENCE.

THIS WAS A KEY FACTOR.LOGISTICS.

WWII IT WAS LOGISTICS.

WE BEAT THE GERMANS BY TAKING THEIR GASOLINE AWAY FROM THEM.

THANKS AGAIN.
GOD BLESS.
