But as a General, he definitely must have been who General Lucian Truscott had in mind when he spoke about the necessity for all commanders to have some "sonofabitch" in them.
(I admit one of my favorite anecdotes is about Ernest King, who was known to have a salty mouth: Someone once asked Admiral Ernest J. King if it was he who said, "When they get in trouble they send for the sonsabitches." He replied that he was not -- but that he would have said it if he had thought of it..."
LOL !!! Trump is not General Patton; he is Larry Flynt.
I need to get King’s biography. I love this entry in Wikipedia: After turning 64 on 23 November 1942, he wrote a message to President Roosevelt to say he had reached mandatory retirement age. Roosevelt replied with a note reading “So what, old top?”
And this: Roosevelt once described King as a man who “shaves every morning with a blow torch.”
