So basically, you've just agreed with everything I've written, but just excuse it, "Cause, you know, that was Patton." Sorry 'bout the Raiders.

I've turned off the Raiders, and I mentioned the difference between Patton and West in my first sentence. Patton was indeed officer material, maintaining respect and admiration while owning up to serious errors, while West lost the confidence and respect of his own men, then attempted a PR campaign full of exagerations aimed at saving his own neck. There is NO EVIDENCE that he saved any lives through his actions, but people repeat that claim like it was fact. It aint.
