I’ve studied Patton seriously. I like the man and wish there were some others like him. We are SERIOUSLY in need of warriors now, not the “negotiating, political, soft spoken Eisenhower type.” Think about it. Our demise as a nation began with Eisenhower’s softness...and I helped elect him the second time. Shame on me. I believe Patton could have been president......but he was “eliminated.” Look what the wussies did to MacArthur as well.
Patton was a wonderfully gifted tank commander.
Politically, he was not so hot. Certainly not smooth enough to get to a nomination from either party.
And Mac was to smarmy for his own good. He treated himself like a God in Japan. He was a prima Dona in Korea. He embarrassed his boss. Harry was right to fire him.
