I like your general comments but I think you’re way off on Patton.
Patton was 3rd ARMY, not 3rd Armored Div. I wonder if those who think this are confusing the similar words. The movie does not mention “3rd Armored Div”.
Yes that was my point... Maybe my post was written poorly. My wife's dad was in the Army for 28 years. He was a combat veteran in both WWII and Korea and served stateside during Vietnam. When we tell people he was in the 3rd Armored Division in WWII... 9 times out of 10 they insist that he served under Patton. When we try to correct them, it goes right over the head of most people.
