I’d pay top dollar to see how Patton would react to modern America

I love one of his sayings ( May God have mercy on my enemies because I will not) and great attitude to have in life...

My father-in-law served under him in WW2. He spoke fondly of Gen. Patton which says a lot as my FIL was a Black man serving this country, not an easy task by any means.

When I was in high school living in Germany, I got to visit the cemetery he is interred at on Memorial Day. It was a simple soldiers grave, but instead of being in line with the rest of the others, it was facing all of them as if he were reviewing them at inspection. There's a hotel in Garmisch, Germany for military personel named after him that my family and I stayed at during one Christmas.

Patton supposedly killed one of Pancho Villa's lieutenants in an old west style shoot out while using his Colt peacemaker (the famous colt 6-gun, cowboy pistol).

Before dying, General Patton controversially declared: "We have defeated the wrong enemy"; I wonder if this statement played a role in his mysterious, controversial or what, death...

"We defeated the wrong enemy..." George Patton in a Private letter in 1945 to his wife.

"I had never heard that we fought to de-natzify Germany – live and learn. What we are doing is to utterly destroy the only semi-modern state in Europe so that Russia can swallow the whole."

First video I watched on this new channel. It was pretty good considering it was only 20 minutes long, you covered all the main points. It was surprising that during World War 2, Montgomery's and Patton's super massive egos didn't combine to create some sort spacetime disturbance.
