Patton 360 series on the History Channel is fucking awesome!!! Any getbigger should be inspired by this man!!
First off anyone who has a problem with how General George S. Patton Jr. got things done doesn't understand war. Sure, in his private life he was flawed (who isn't) but when it came down to be a monster in the throes of war there was no one better than "Old Blood and Guts". Does anyone of you who think that General Patton was this crazed war monger understand what horror was going on in WWII? You can read about it and imagine it all you like but you needed to be there to truly understand the magnitude of life from 1940 thru 1945. Patton was the quintessential fighting leader! With the strategic mind of Napoleon di Buonaparte, the charisma of Alexander the Great, the majesty of Julius Caesar, the willpower of William the Conqueror and the dedication and loyalty of George Washington, Patton was the perfect solider to inspire all his men to do what is necessary in order to win a bloody reality that was breathing down the American dream. He was the RIGHT man at the RIGHT time and the RIGHT place!! And even FDR, Marshall, Churchill and Eisenhower knew this even through Patton's controversial moments simply because they had too. America and the world needed Patton and everyone knew it. Hitler and the entire axis was scared of Patton even at the height of their power!! This just shows you how incredible Patton's mystique really was. And this series, Patton 360, does a beautiful job in showing you the triumphs and tragedy that Patton had to endure during the greatest years of his life in contemporary fashion. Any fan of history should well look into this masterpiece and see just how much of a genius the man was in a time when we needed a hero. Anyone can sit behind their computer, television, book, etc. today and rip apart or question a man who could do a job better than they could ever hope to do. His accomplishments in war are just astounding, simply the greatest achievements in military history! He captured 81,000 sq. miles of territory (the size of France), he captured over 1,250,000 prisoners (nearly 5 armies) while his army was only about 250,000, he killed or wounded a 1/2 million Germans and he did all this at a faster pace than anyone in the history of war!!! All doubters must ask themselves this, if you went to war and you had to put your life on the line and believe in someone who would lead you to victory, no matter what the cost, who would you choose? This was the genius of Patton and Patton is GOD!!!
