Re: Gen. Bradley



John, I'm puzzled by your story. Regarding fires on the MLR: I can't imagine a man on the front lines having to be told there would be no fires. Men were told they could not smoke, because the hot tip of a cigarette could be seen for hundreds of yards. I'm even more amazed that they allowed bonfires- I can't think of many things that would be as good targets for artillery or mortars as men huddled around a fire. Men walking around the MLR to keep warm! That is a sure way to got shot by your own men.
