I have a story about Patton too -- not exactly to that but related, in a way. Too bad I had too much wine to remember the details. Patton was terrific AND there were other great tank commanders,too.

In any case, you should let Patton speak for himself, and quote him at least. What would Patton have done to someone in his staff passing operational information to the the Canadians? It would be silly to think such a man would be hung.
