Patton and McArthur were good generals.

Patton never got a chance to truly go after the Germans. 3rd ARmy did some great things, but it would have been in Germany pre-Battle of the Bulge if not for Montgomery's screw up in the Netherlands.....

MacArthur did some great things, but I don't know. I don't know or think he did it intentionally, but he took more credit for luck than anything else. He was a great leader though.
