Didn't Mahan come up with Orange?

Rickover should get as much credit for being father of the Nuclear Navy that can be given. His ideas are what kept the USSR at bay, so I believe he was a commander during war time.

We always give credit to Ike, Schwartzkopf, Bradley, etc. but people never mention Nimitz, Rickover, Halsley, and others.

Also we never discuss great Air Force leaders either other than LeMay, who is generally forgotten and his tactics are now considered beneath us.


Because no one mentioned in the OP is worth a shite compared to this man:
