- Nobody liked Pershing, and General Pershing didn't really like anyone.

The main reason is because he created the General Staff that is still used today. A remarkable man that continued to offer his services, even after retirement. ]]> 2020-01-18 01:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rghiloni/Ghiloni/wish/433200628 rghiloni https://padlet.com/rghiloni/Ghiloni/wish/433207881 Despite all the flaws and failures that General Pershing had, He was the icon that helped win world war one, and helped create the general staff that we have today.

-The American Army had to rely on the British for weapons, and supplies.

-Thought that trench fighting was basically the worst idea ever.
- was old fashion. one example is that General Pershing would travel on horse back rather than newly developed vehicles.]]> 2020-01-18 02:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rghiloni/Ghiloni/wish/433207917 https://padlet.com/rghiloni/Ghiloni/wish/434790696 Ryan - there is some good information in your presentation. I am not sure if "nobody liked him" is entirely accurate. Patton and MacArthur and Marshall were all fans of Pershing. "Liked" may be the wrong way to view him (or are we obsessed with liked/disliked today?)

Nice work getting the youtube video inserted in here - experimentation! ]]> 2020-01-22 20:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rghiloni/Ghiloni/wish/434790696
