Amen! When I attended the Armor School in 1970, our class leader gave a presentation somewhat thus:
"In the beginning was the word, and the word was Patton! And the Lord said unto Patton, `thou shalt build me a tank, and it shall be of thirty cubits by fifty cubits by eighteen cubits, and with it, thou shalt go forth, and kill Germans!'"
Later, I had the privilege of meeting his son, Maj. Gen. George S. Patton, III. Passed away only a few years ago, a fine soldier.
I always wondered how Patton and MacArthur would get along in the same theater. I heard they had a chance meeting in WWI but that was about it.
