I know it's supposed to be a metaphor, but here's my take on the actual American warriors. 1. Ernest King -> great strategist. Would have probably been great operator too. 2. Chester Nimitz -> the greatest strategist of them all (George Washington included). Midway was obviously his moment of glory, but his second most brilliant action of the war was the sacking of Admiral Ghormley, which lead more or less to the decisive victory of Guadalcanal, from which point the war was won on autopilot. 3. Bill (Bull) Halsey -> great operator (greater than Patton). Questionable strategist. 4. Raymond Spruance -> great strategist and also great operator. On the army side, I'm not that familiar, but I'd venture and call George Marshall as a really great strategist and obviously Eisenhower also a great strategist. Patton was a great operator, and questionable strategist, similar to Bull Halsey.
