General Curtis LeMay: FF or HP?

Freedom Fighter. He's quite revered in many sections of the air force because, in spite of his harsh character, he was known to look after the enlisted men under him - including making sure the enlisted man's married quarters at a new base were constructed speedily, even if it meant the officers had to wait.

He also headed the Berlin Airlift.

And his suggestion that he would be tried for war crimes had we lost had about as much to do with how the German and Japanese governments of the time operated as his actions. The Japanese, after all, routinely tortured and executed downed American pilots, even before LeMay began the fire-bombing of the Home Islands.

And then he was George Wallace's running mate.

Definitely another positive aspect.

I disagree. I might have considered the ticket reversed, but Wallace's segregationist stance - albeit one less extreme than many other southern leaders of the time - really turns me off.

Then again, his opponents were Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey; I don't exactly like them much either.
