Of course Patton did not realize he was actually offending God and worsening his chances. Many people scoff at godly virtue. But it wasn’t cussing that braved the lions.

Of course Patton did not realize he was actually offending God and worsening his chances. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = I think 'many' Historians would tell you Patton probably looked upon himself as 'God'.

Of the many things Patton was, PC is not one of his traits.

He could not 'survive' in todays 'world'.

Ike and Bradley were the Statesmen, MacArthur the Politician. Patton was the warrior.

After Desert Storm etal, Powell came home the 'hero', Schwarzkopf the 'warrior'... When the press need 'putting in their place', Schwarzkopf was called upon to brief them.

Schwarzkopf would have been MY choice for Pres or UN Ambassador, even Sec Of State but we all know that was impossible.

A 'tribute' to Patton was that the majority of the "Allied" Military leaders did not like him.

The Germans RESPECTED and FEARED him. Hitler once referred to him as “that crazy cowboy general”, and “the most dangerous man the Allies have”.
