Patton’s temper eventually got him in trouble. It wasn’t just the slapping incident. Let’s face it, nobody liked Monty, but the level of dislike expressed by Patton made Ike very uncomfortable. We had to be able to work with our allies, likable or not.
True enough. But I admire his grit and determination and willingness to rebel a little against what he thought were stupid ideas. Feel like we need more of that today.
