I get it’s an article on Patton and don’t disagree that he was a genius at what he did. But...”far less gifted Omar Bradley”...I think is a bit much.

Omar did well in his role and got a ton out of his troops more than most of the other generals. I wouldn’t put him on an equal plateau with Patton, but I wouldn’t put him anywhere near Montgomery who was “far less” than Patton in everything except politics.

Bradley stopped Patton from closing the Falaise Gap when Monte couldn’t.

That right there disqualifies Bradley from being included in the great generals list.

Bradley was more politician then general.
