Mr. Gayles, great add with documentary link. I had watched it before hand during my research but I found it still satisfying.
I found myself being lenient on Pershing for the amount of casualties endured because of the amount of learning that needed to be done by all in such a short period of time. I don't think that some of the lessons learned really came ahead until WW2.

Why Study the Leader Today is Important?/ Conclusion

# data[].attributes.body
Learning about John Joseph Pershing is important because he would be the first to command a complex and never before seen at that time Great Army command known as AEF. Pershing would be the first what we call today a CEO. This is because of the magnitude of the position. He layed the blueprint of how to command troops over 1  milliion, but not from the front lines. But from war rooms and global political tables. Pershing had more  leeway in building and fighting his army than any commander in American history. This speaks volume to his political mind strength and his ability to keep his mouth close and rub people the wrong way. I do not believe anyone else in Pershings shoes could have accomplished what he did, he had his flaws. But in the end he was the right man given the right army at the right time, during the Great war, and solidified his Great Commander Status.
