And on the theory that Lee and Meade should have equal time to reply to their critics, an editorial in the Scripps-Howard papers took the ghosts of Gettysburg's commanders on a jeep trip through the Ardennes to retrace Eisenhower-Montgomery strategy in the Battle of the Bulge. " 'An absolutely monstrous thing', said General Meade. 'I would have sacked them both,' said General...

The lieutenant takes over the jeep at gunpoint, loads the ammo on it, forces the sergeant to march with the platoon to Hill 465. But is the divisional HQ still there...
