" ... in 1916, a Mexican bandit called Francisco “Poncho” Villa was causing some problems to the U.S. and killed 16 Americans in New Mexico. President Woodrow Wilson assigned General John Joseph Pershing to go after Villa. General Pershing chose Patton to aid him on his special assignment. On his first days on this assignment, Patton took out three Villa’s followers. This was a great surprise for Pershing until Patton decided to strap two of the bodies to some fences. General’s Pershing response to this act by Patton was a very brief statement. “We have a bandit in our ranks, this Patton boy! He’s a real fighter!” Patton left everyone amazed. With this, Patton demonstrated his passion while in a fight and how tough he was."
Why do you think he is my favorite historical figure???
I have a huge poster of him as well as bust statute in my office.
