Another fantastic thread...and General Patton exemplifies the best of US military.

I’ve read most of his published letters and not only was he a superb commander but he was so well versed in history and cultures a really brilliant cosmopolitan man...far superior to his contemporaries.

An excerpt from V. D. Hansen's essay about what Patton would do today in the WOT.

"Today, millions in the Islamic world are watching the West struggle against Islamic fascism. Perhaps deep down inside they prefer, logically and with some idealism, to live under Western-style freedom and democratic auspices. And yet nationalism, pride, religion, and ethnic solidarity war with reason, combining to produce far greater resentment against a powerful, Western America, even when it brings the very freedom that the Arabs for decades have said they wished. A modern Patton would not be bothered by such inconsistency, but rather have made sure that he had not only defeated the terrorists and their supporters, but had done so in such damaging fashion that none in the Middle East might find such a repugnant cause at all romantic, bringing as it did utter ruin as the wage of the wrath of the United States."
