If Trump has said Wesley Clark, the other pampered princes would have approved.
Advanced technology would have allowed Patton to dominate the battlefield now, even more than then.
Forget the slappings, Patton’s worst move was Task Force Baum.

The raid on the POW Camp at Hammelburg by Task Force Baum was ill conceived, insufficiently supported, and implemented for purely personal reasons. (to rescue his son-in-law John Waters) But he got pretty bogged down in Metz too. Urban fighting didn’t suit his cavalry man’s style.
