Uh-huh.
Why don't you fill us in on the details of the all the Marines whose lives
were thrown away on the last day of the war, even though their COs knew the
guns would be falling silent at 11:00 AM?

Some of Blackjack Pershing's generals saw a last chance at glory and,
believing the Armistice was letting the Germans off the hook, Pershing did
nothing to dissuade them. U.S. Marines suffered more than 1,100 casualties
trying to cross the River Meuse. Had they been allowed to wait until 11:00,
they could have safely crossed the river with no casualties...
