Patton led about a dozen men on a “foraging expedition” looking for food. They ran across some of Villa’s men, and shooting commenced. When Patton and his men returned, they had bodies strapped to their cars. https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-history/patton-leads-first-armor-attack/
Patton was a very tough guy—not just an image he developed.
I’m lucky to have visited his museum a few times and the kid/man was well versed in all sorts of fighting.
Expert pistol marksman (and rifle )
Sword Duelist—Olympic caliber (the USA still uses the Sabre design he created in Olympic sports…or did)
Owned his first weapon at some ridiculous age like 5-6
He personally killed more bandits/revolutionaries than the rest of his entire large squad under his command.
