My wife loves me as much as my dog does. Either I got lucky or my dog hates me. :-)
There's a sure-fire way to find out:

Thanks for the explanation. I remember the days of the Brownie camera with the flash attachment. I’m assuming this was taken by a military photographer, with something better than a Kodak Brownie.

These days the military is full of gutless wonders, just like the gutless Republicans in Congress.

Your wife doesn’t tell you what to do, how to drive or what to wear? You are a lucky man indeed! :)

One conspiracy theory I’ve run into was that TPTB took advantage of the situation.
Supposedly Patton was never treated for blood clots during his hospitalization prior to his death.
Supposedly the General had been treated for clots several times during his career. If that was the case then not treating for them would seem a glaring omission.

Thanks...I figured it was something like that. That’s probably what press photographer would have used back then.

He died days afterward of a pulmonary embolism, I believe.

Dogs hearts break even worse than humans do.
They’re part of our world... but to the dog, you ARE their whole world.
You don’t get that kind of devotion from people.

there was an article by the Daily Mail around 2006 where a GI died in Iraq and his coffin was interred briefly at the hometown church. The dog which was the GI’s pet, was front and center and laid down right in front of the casket, never moving until it was time for burial..both an amzing and somber image.

Patton was in the back seat (and seated improperly as it turned out), two men were in the front seat and uninjured and it was a head-on collision.”
****
there’s a series about American mysteries (Brad Meltzer) from History and the ending was that they interviewed the biographer or foremost expert on Patton, and he stated it wasn’t a conspiracy as Patton reportedly forgave him before he died and told the investigators not to pursue any charges as it was an accident. Patton was a forgiving man even when facing death.
Last 15 minutes was the conclusion:

I’ve photoshopped lots of shadows and the shadows in this picture look genuine. They curve in three dimensions rather than just duplicate the outline of the object.
