  Keith E. Eiler: An Uncommon Soldier   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Wedemeyer was commissioned in the infantry and entered a long apprenticeship in the peacetime army.
Wedemeyer, having incurred the displeasure of his old boss General Marshall (then secretary of state) because of his stand on China, and finding himself philosophically out of step with some of his army colleagues, left the Pentagon in August 1949 to assume command of the Sixth U.S. Army headquartered in San Francisco.
Although Wedemeyer was by no means averse to the use of force to resist aggression, he deplored the fact that we had committed ourselves to a land war in Asia and that we had done so quite unprepared and with little or no forethought.

 Clausewitz in English: Chapter18
Wedemeyer was that rare commodity, an intellectual in American uniform during the interwar years.
(7) Wedemeyer's writings are full of references to war, policy, and politics, and it is easy to infer that he drew a lot from On War.
Wedemeyer has, however, been cited as evidence that the Germans were paying no more attention to Clausewitz than the Americans were, as his voluminous notes on his experiences in the German war college made virtually no reference to Clausewitz.
