[laughter] is general omar bradley.is a pretty good core commander in tunisia and in sicily and he is over his head and normandy when he has rades over where he was comfortable. he is overmatched, in my opinion. he is talking to carry outland terry allen.-- this strutting cock is george patton. case.rse, he is a special he looms very large in the sicily campaign. of course, he disgraces himself by slapping two soldiers on two consecutive sundays in august 1943, soldiers he claims are both cowards. he is disqualified from further command in the mediterranean. he will spend the entire italian campaign in purgatory until he is rehabilitated sufficiently. had that not happened, bradley would've continued to be .ubordinate to patent -- patton scrutinize two pairs of allied generals. prominent duo are eisenhower and montgomery. they are both short timers and the italian campaign. they both participate for only about four months before taking back -- taken back to england. here is eisenhower on june 7, 1940 four, going to norm

bradley and patton. this is montgomery in the middle. patton on the right and generaley keys, one of the american corps commanders closest to the map. bradley called that incident over the road in sicily, quote, the most arrogant egotistical, selfish and dangerous move in the whole of combined operations in world war ii. he's really pissed. [ laughter ] patton's assessment was simpler. he just called montgomery if you'll pardon his expression the little shit. [ laughter ] a british commander says of montgomery, one must remember he is not quite a gentleman. madam chair. the highway 124 incident encourages montgomery to disregard both subordinates and superiors. general alan brook who is chief of the imperil general staff george marshall's counterpart in london observes at the time and he is a protector of montgomery, the americans do not like him and it will always be difficult -- a difficult matter to have him fighting in close proximity to them. this baggage will all be carted to normandy. well, if eisenhower and montgomery are the most prominent generals in the medi

now, this is general omar bradley who is a pretty good core commander in tunisia. he's a pretty good corps commander in sicily and then he's over his head in normandy when he's promoted two grades above where he has been comfortable. he becomes an army group commander in normandy in the summer of 1944 and he's overmatched in my opinion. he's talking incidentally to terry allen who commands the infantry in sicily and will be relieved of command by omar bradley. and this strutting cock, you may recognize as george patton, and patton is the senior american commander in sicily. and, of course, patton is a special case. he looms very large in the sicilian campaign as the commander of the seventh campaign, but then he disgraces himself by slapping two soldiers on two consecutive sundays in august 1943, soldiers he claims are cowards. in fact, they're both sick. they're in the hospital for a reason, and he is thus disqualified for further command in the mediterranean. patton will spend the italian campaign in purgatory until he is rehabilitated sufficiently to be whisked

general george patton. you have two operator u.s. armies in play now. the 1st and the 3st and bradley moves up to be an army group commander of the 12th army in control of all the u.s. ground forces, and patton's 3rd army has a reputation for being very armored heavy because he likes mobile and mechanized warfare. this is precisely what they will be doing on the western side of the map. basically slash-and-dash. move quickly. just hit the germans hard, get to the rear areas, encircle them. this is what patton's army excels at. they get to avranche which you can see on the map, eventually whoops, they're going to move into brittany. the german army is going to find itself in a very difficult and very mortal position at this stage. and from a kind of conceptual view point, history isn't about just memorizing facts or dates or even military history isn't about that either. there's a larger analysis or purpose to it all in a sense and what's interesting to me as an american historian is that this u.s. army that you now see in late july, in august 1944 after what's generally known as the b

bradley is in ferguson. good morning, tahman. first of all, give us an idea, we had attorney general eric holder visiting there yesterday.ea of how he was received in that neighborhood? >> well, michelle, devin. good morning to you both. he was well-received. he had serious business to take care of here. off to check on the investigation and to meet with the fbi, which has been part of the investigation. as well as the the local prosecutor here. now, the attorney general spoke with michael brown's family. reaching out to them. promising them there will be a nur r thorough investigation and they will get more information about exactly what happened. major developments here. we want to lay it all out for you now. behind closed doors, 12 grand jurors began reviewing evidence in the shooting death of michael brown. they'll decide the fate of darren wilson, the ferguson police officer who shot and killed the unarmed teen. >> we'll have absolute leave everything there its. aefrp pie every piece of paper. photograph. physical evidence. >> reporter: but the prosecuting attorney doesn't expect a decision from the grand jury which

. >> stephan bradley is director of african-american studies and associate professor at st. louis university. eric holder is the nation's first black attorney generalt crisis in the predominantly black communities. i want you to give me your impressions on the impact he had in his visit here. >> well, it was very much a call from the community that the community doesn't have faith in the local authorities, obviously so, based on what happened after the initial demonstrations with michael brown, with michael brown's death. so a federal officer, agency coming down, the attorney general, opening up an investigation is exactly what the community wants. and so i think that's a good move. i think some of the calculus is working better now. >> and earlier we reported about the man in st. louis shot by police after wielding a knife, saying "shoot me, go ahead and shoot me." there are many saying he didn't have to be shot, stunned, tased. it was caught on cell phone video. it raises a lot of questions, clearly, about the use of force, and a lot of people say, you know, this is another example of trigger-happy police. do you believe that? >> well, i'll tell

general russell honore of the u.s. army. he is author of "leadership and the new normal." thank you so much for being here. bradleywe've seen these pretty jaw dropping photos on the streets of ferguson. it looked like there were all sorts of military grade weapons. tell us what you saw when you looked at these pictures. >> i saw the continuation of a trend that has been going on for about 35 years. the policing in america has been becoming increasingly militarized. we've seen literally millions of pieces of military equipment, equipment was designed for use on a battlefield, we're talking tanks, armed personnel careers, helicopters, grenaenade launche transferred to fortunates across the country. >> and why did that happen? >> it's surplus. it began informally under the reagan administration. it was turned into a formal program by congress in the 1990s. and the thinking was we need to fight the drug wars, or the drug war motived this. we need to fight the drug war as if it were a literal war. part of doing that was making this surplus military equipment available. the equipment is bad. i think it's problematic not
