Patton was honest with his troops about the nature of war, and got the most from them.

As much as I love everything on this site, I was most compelled to comment on this post. I have always been a long time Patton fan and this is one of the best articles here. Thanks again for another great read!

There’ve been continual attempts to trash the reputation of Patton over the years, but he still stands out as not only one of the greatest American generals, but as an independently wealthy man could could have lived a life of ease, and instead devoted it to serving his country. He even used some of his own wealth to help keep the Armored Corps going between the wars.

For what is probably the best book regarding G. S. Patton, I recommend “Patton:A genius for War” by Carlos D’Este. It paints a complete picture of the man – good AND bad – without leaning to one side or the other. Although the movie “Patton” had a stellar performance by George C. Scott (which I enjoyed thoroughly), a great amount of the information for it came from the memoirs of General Bradley, who despised Patton and was very clear about that fact in later years.
@Timothy: Even given that history paints a different picture of the events than you portrayed, he was a soldier and following orders, as were others. Does one negative act remove any worthwhile qualities or make him unworthy of admiration? If so, then I have to wonder if you truly admire any mortal man or woman.

“I am a soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.”

“Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.”

“May God have mercy on my enemies, because I won’t.”

“It is the unconquerable nature of man and not the nature of the weapon he uses that ensures victory.”

“Live for soething, rather than die for nothing.”
