Patton wouldn’t get anywhere NEAR being a general, or leader of any kind in the military today. He had a tendency to speak his mind, making people uncomfortable. Hell, he was even too much for the political types in the military back then. I don’t believe they could get rid of him, because he was so good at what he did, and he was popular. I believe Eisenhower hated him, as did many others. The people he served with loved him.
There are theories that the Russians had him killed while he was in the hospital after the car accident. He was definitely on Stalin’s sh1t list. Patton wanted to join up with the Germans(after getting rid of the Nazis) and drive the Russians out of Europe. History proved him to be quite right. I understand that Churchill regretted not doing so, after the fact.
That was a significant time, that shaped the history of the past half Century, and continues to do so. 0-Tard seems to be doing his best to piss away all of the real progress we have made since then.
History proved that it would have been very nice to do this.
It does not prove that it was feasible, a good idea, or that the results would have been worth the incredible cost in lives and money.
However, it pretty much does indicate that the American people and soldiers would not have stood for any such thing. turning on an ally in mid-war is possible only for a dictatorship, as Hitler did when he attacked Stalin. Democracies have to make such decisions by something approaching consensus. Notably, our Constitution requires it.
