Many either loved or hated the man. However, you cannot deny the man's accomplishments, from overcoming dylexia, killing Pancho Villa's bodyguard and strapping him to the roof of his car, and the well documented battle victories he had.
Foul mouthed he may have been, but he was a true leader and did not care about offending anyone so long as the job got done.
Ike coddled and protected him. Are you aware of the mission Patton ordered to rescue one of his relatives that got a lot of soldiers killd? Do you know why he got busted? None of his jerky behavior was forced on him. He exhibited a "prima donna" attitude.
