It is :) I just happen to collect some Patton-haters from the woodwork haha

[Jeff Chandler]

If Eisenhower had listened to Patton at almost every step of the war, tens of thousands of Allied lives would have been saved. But Patton was resented because he was a rich kid who spoke his mind. (Weird. That sounds familiar.)

Ike, Bradley, et al detested him and would rather work with inferior officers who would get men killed than to allow George to get any glory. (Man, that sounds familiar.)

And sideline your greatest general in the midst of an existential struggle because he’s a jerk who slapped some kid? PRIORITIES!!!!!

And Hell, while we’re at it, why didn’t our naval officers utilize the experience gained by the Brits in the Atlantic?

I swear, the officer corp of the U.S. military is damned lucky they have so much hardware and so many good men at their disposal, because if we had to rely on their brains and integrity we’d be speaking German.
