From the second World War...

“General Patton doesn’t pass the decency test”

General Patton slapped a soldier! Oh, my! Oh, dear! He is not a decent man. Oh, no, we can’t have him winning battles for us.

And I hear he used swear words when talking to the troops, and, oh the PETA of it, he enjoyed fox-hunting.

“General Patton slapped a soldier! Oh, my! Oh, dear! He is not a decent man. Oh, no, we can’t have him winning battles for us.”

Patton’s actions were unacceptable, at least to Eisenhower and the CIC. Patton was taken out of the fight as a result.

Patton apologized for his inappropriate behavior and later worked his way back into a position of responsibility.

Was your post intended to criticize General Eisenhower?
