Re: 90th Division remarks
Just to repeat again, under later commanders the 90ID was good enough to be the only unit selected by G.S.Patton from 3ed army for a citation as whole. After all, even Kasserine disaster bears on many parts signature of the II corps commander, incl. bad tank use doctrine and bad coordination of troops and their performance went up after II corps was taken over by G.S.P. So I'd say that while 90ID received sub par training in the sense it didn't have so much time for invasion-specific training in Britain, most of its problems came from officers.
