Wouldn't it have been interesting to have followed Patton's activities five years after the close of the Second World War, had Patton's life not been taken in the vehicle "accident" that claimed his life.
A Patton-versus-MacArthur brawl to see which was top dog would have been unpleasant, but Patton as a replacement for Mac [instead of former Airborne General Matt Ridgway] would have no doubt terrorized the North Koreans, Chinese and Russian Soviets, as well as their sympathizers at the UN and in the U.S. State Department. But somehow, I suspect he would have gotten along with the tough little former artillery officer from Missouri as his commander-in-chief, and would have performed miracles for him.
