“Patton came up through Calvary.”
It’s cavalry. There was a guy who you could say ROSE up through Calvary, but he wasn’t a general. Patton had a lot of respect for Him, though.
I don’t understand what you were trying to say.
I’ve read three of Patton’s biographies. What is striking is the notion of fighting the last war, and how pernicious it is/was.
There was a flying General that was court-martialed over dive bombing and its effectiveness. Of all things I saw this in an airport museum. There was an interpretive display in a room. I want to say it was Doolittle, but I may be wrong.
