Was it Normandy?
Blenheim? Waterloo? Goose Green? No to all.
Perhaps Naseby or
Culloden? No again. El Alamein? Nope.
It was, indeed, Imphal
and Kohima, the
turning point in the fighting in South Asia during World War II. Now, I'm a
Burma theater fan as much as the next guy. But this still surprised me. I
wonder why they picked that. It wasn't just because President
Obama's grandfather
served there. Perhaps it was the ever-growing reputation of General
Slim?
