EnjoyLife Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Patton was an interesting guy. He reminds me of Ulysses S. Grant...not necessarily a great tactician...but he understood his advantage (an overwhelming superiority in manpower and materials) and he was not afraid of the devil himself.

That’s also why I chose him; without him, all of the Patton’s, MacAurthur’s, Doolittle’s etc. might not have ever been known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
