How George Marshall's Ruthless 1939 Purge Secretly Rebuilt America's Entire Army

How George Marshall's Ruthless 1939 Purge Secretly Rebuilt America's Entire Army. In 1939, George Marshall's inherited army was barely capable of defending itself, and he made an enemy of hundreds of powerful men to save it. He fired officers who had served for decades, gambled his entire reputation on soldiers nobody else believed in, and quietly built the command structure that would win World War II. Would you have had the nerve to make that call, knowing it might end in disaster? If you had been one of the officers George Marshall's board passed over, would you have accepted it, or fought back? Tell us in the comments what you would have done in his position, and share this video with anyone who thinks leadership always means keeping the peace. #GeorgeMarshall #WW2History #WorldWarTwo #USArmy #MilitaryHistory #Eisenhower #Patton #WWIIHistory #AmericanHistory #ChiefOfStaff 🔔 Subscribe here:    / @pattonswarstories   💬 We'd love to hear from you!
