  1. It got crazier as he was later in charge of the Viet Nam War and came up with that fantastic idea the body count. Counting the enemy dead. The idea was that once you've killed enough of the enemy then they would stop fighting. Body count became such a big part of the war that artillery units who fired in support of infantry would insist on that very same infantry did a body count for them. So they would have to go out and count all the enemy dead. If not no more artillery support. What happens when wars are run by accountants.
