Instead, Ike insisted on forming up along the Rhineland, fighting wherever he found the enemy in force. The Battle of the Bulge was, of course, the plain result of U.S. military ineptitude, and a very good thing it was that Montgomery was handy to fend off disaster-although how he did it was never made clear. And so it goes...
