The thing is Iran is supposedly a semi-democracy. In todays environment we can't just attack them without provocation. How would Patton deal with that?(Brainstorming)

I think Pattone would unbed the embedded media. Stand at Iran's border and (if necessary) probe it until they retaliated. Then he would claim they attacked and he would 'surge' to Tehran.

Off the top of my head, I don;t know for sure.

The Iranian men, weapons, money, and IED's streaming into Iraq that are killing Americans as we speak, would have been considered provocation in Patton's day.
