because henced called him george. marshall never allowed anybody to call him george except for his wife. he said, mr. president, i don't agree with that at all. the president was surprised because everybody else was in the meeting and they all got up and left. they shook his hand and wished him good luck because your career is over. this was the second episode that his values were always something he should stand up for. churchill very rarely ever challenged him directly. if marshall was doing something that churchill did not agree with he would talk to eisenhower, roosevelt, anybody but marshall and try to get them to change their mind. that does not mean he did not have great respect for marshall. churchill called marshall the organizer of victory. openly when he visited marshall on his deathbed in 1959. 1939, roosevelt brought marshall into his office and offered him the dream job, chief of staff of the army. dream job, was a marshall had a list of demands if you will. i will work as hard for you as i can, but i need to be

george? so marshall winced, because he called him george. marshall never allowed anybody to call him george except for his wife. and he fundamentally disagree with the president, and he told him so. he said mr. president, i'm sorry, i just don't agree with any of that at all. the president was surprised because everybody else was in the meeting and they all got up and left. they are again, shaking his hand and wishing him good luck because your career is over. but roosevelt never held it against him. so this was the second episode , andproved to marshall only reinforced the idea that his values were something that he should always stand up for. had great respect for marshall. in fact, he very rarely ever challenged him directly. if marshall was doing something that churchill did not agree with he would talk to eisenhower, roosevelt, anybody but marshall and try to get them to change his mind. however, that does not mean he did not have great respect for marshall. in fact, churchill called marshall "the organizer of ictory." and he wept openly
