Well, sometimes it takes a Patton. In war a Patton is required. Patton wasn't a soldier of attrition, he was a flank and maneuver man. He had seen the trenches of the First World and detested them. His troops had to be keyed up and more afraid of George than the Germans yet their respect for him was unmatched. It sad that the civilian press stabed him in the back every chance they got. The press always has problems with military leadership becuse the different nature of two trades.
A lot of Americans returned from Europe rather than became part of the soil because of him.
We need Pattons now and the kind we need are Captains and Sargents not Generals.
The press didn't like Patton, the same way the press doesn't like the military or patriots: they fear the concept of "Men". Real Men, who'd defend their nation, firing a rifle round into the guts of an enemy soldier. Unlike a certain former pig White House resident who fired his "gun" into a lavatory sink.
