It isn’t about ‘accepting’ his views, try refuting them.

You might start by referencing the last major Russian military victory prior to their recent Georgian operation. As for Patton being a bigot, he had more experience dealing with various nationalities (such as the Russians) than either one of us, and his analysis can’t be dismissed on the altar of political correctness.

And I might add, we’re not talking about Patton’s views on Jews, we’re talking about his views on the slavic savages of Russia.

Defeating the Germans in WWII? That's a pretty big deal. Other than Afghanistan, I can't actually think of any war they fought in during the interim.

You can't pick and choose here. You seem to be claiming that Patton was a good judge of national character. If he's right about the Slavs, then why do you questions his judgment regarding the Jews?
