George Washington, * , Anthony Wayne, Ulysses Simpson Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, John J. Pershing, and several other notable Generals would like to have a word with you.

Patton was a great Corps commander, and a very good Army commander, when he kept his mouth shut.

* - Denotes a US Army General from the Revolution whose monuments do not bear his name.

Add Nathan Bedford Forrest and Stonewall Jackson to the list.
Patton was the grandson of Colonel George S. Patton Sr., who commanded the 33nd Virginia. He was KIA at the 3rd Battle of Winchester.

my opinion about Gen. Patton is subjective of course and despite your impressive list, i stand by it.

Patton’s skills as a combat commander speak for themselves and the record of his Third Army in particular does as well.
