I keep wondering how General Patton would fare in the age of the Internet and the 24 hour media.


I m a lot older than you and, ive talked to many world war 2 veterans, and I can honestly say they all loved the guy.

and one thing always comes up, it doesn't mean anything to this generation or even the last two, but, the guys that were in pattons army, the big question they always asked.

why wasn't pattons army allowed to enter berlin before the Russians? he was ready to go into berlin and was stopped, letting the Russians enter first.

good question. but, im off topic, sorry.
