Oh, how I agree... :(
Which is strange considering that Buchanan himself is Catholic.
glad to be of some assistance.
It was the original Jack Nicholson, “YOU NEED ME ON THAT WALL!”
I actually haven’t really read into Patton’s direct bios, but from what I’ve read vie Omar Bradley etc, Patton was a lot showy-er than his men really appreciated.
He seemed to want to be Stonewall Jackson....but he never really commanded the same kind of adoration from his troops (that little mishap in Chancellorsville notwithstanding.)
Good post!

If not for Churchill and Patton add some zeros to the number dead.
Some random Treadhead ping
I recommend Robert K. Wilcox, TARGET: PATTON--The Plot to ASSASSINATE General George S. Patton.
He really, really pissed off the red ring around Roosevelt and Truman, the Soviets especially Stalin (who put out a contract on him), and the OSS which was a great shadowy thing even then.
His remarks just prior to his very suspicious death December 1945 were prophetic and inflammatory.
He wasn't going to let Ike and Truman get off for allowing Stalin to enslave 20,000 U.S. and 20,000 British POWs as well as Eastern Europe.
Patton was too hot to keep in Europe, and too hot to let back in the States where he planned to run for the Senate.
Wilcox spent ten years producing his 444-page product with its incendiary hypothesis.
It's like Hussein's birth certificate. Are you going to believe David Axelrod or your lying eyes.
The Patton limousine in the Patton museum is not the limousine.
The five accident reports have disappeared.
The injury was suspicious and the recovery ended with his death on the eve of his release.
And Jack Ruby didn't get the seven kay from Dorfman for Hoffa for silencing Oswald--he did it to spare Jackie.
