How Did Conflict Between General Marshall and Admiral King Happen?

December 1941. Pearl Harbor is burning. America faces enemies on two oceans. General George Marshall wants Europe First. Admiral Ernest King refuses to abandon the Pacific. For three years, they fought each other as fiercely as they fought the Axis—not over ego, but over an impossible question: where do you send the ships when you don't have enough ships for anywhere? Their conflict cost months, wasted resources, and lives lost waiting for landing craft stuck in bureaucratic warfare. America won anyway, not through brilliant coordination but by building so much material that strategic dysfunction became irrelevant. But what if the next war can't be won by out-producing your own incompetence? When two brilliant men can't agree on where to send twelve ships, what does that tell us about the limits of human coordination when survival is at stake? 3 Real Academic Sources: Stoler, Mark A.
