RE: The Korean War Series Project!
As I recall, he was ordered out, similar to how Rommel was ordered out of North Africa. He had quite a taste for luxury, but so did Patton. I don't give him points for innovation, but then Montgomery doesn't get any either. What he did have, which the others didn't was an inferiority complex. Sitting in Australia for 6 months doesn't seem to have helped that very much.
From what little I know of Almond, he wasn't particularly racist. Remember that the army still segregated, as was American society. His greatest issue is that he is a desk officer (and not a bad one), not a field officer. Something of a 8-0-0 when the his troops need a 10-1-2.
... More and more, people around the world are coming to realize that the world is flat!
