It seems that almost every day the NYT had a photo or article about Patton. In this issue both. This has been going on for years.
The constantly call the 3rd Army Patton's 3rd Army.
He was a great leader but so was Doolittle and Omar Bradley.
Were they promoting Patton for political office?

I asked a few days ago why there wasn’t a landing on the southern tip of Okinawa to pincer the Japanese into the mountain where they could be bombed. The article on 4 answered my question—which also means it was a question a lot of people were asking at the time.
