My friend, if Patton had been the general in charge of the war in Iraq, there would have been NO insurgency in any form.
Nonsense. Patton specialized in massive tank assaults and sweeping flank movements. Please explain how these tactics are useful in counter-insurgency.
Patton no doubt could have squashed the insurgency using Roman/Mongol methods, but that doesn't require a general of genius. Just a butcher.
