I was just going to post this. General Patton did a lot to convince the Americans that they were good fighters. Thank God for George Patton. He is still my most revered leader and role model.
Agree on Patton. But I have come to elevate Admiral Nimitz to equal stature. The Battle of Midway broke Japan’s back. Plus he had to deal with that asshole MacArthur just like Patton did with Montgomery.
