If Patton were alive today, he would have so much slapping around to do that his arm would be in a sling.

you should read his biography, very interesting. Patton flunked his first year at West Point and had to remediate. Contrary to public opinion he was not a mystic who believed in reincarnation, but had a passion for military history and its lessons. Few also know that his family owned mount Palimar where the famous telescope today resides.

And the media would be punch-drunk!
