He was nuts he would put his troops in arms way at any cost so its possible 
Nuts or a pure tactical genius!!!
He captured 81,000 sq. miles of territory (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 over 500,000 Germans
These are the greatest accomplishments in military history!!
His men feared him more than the Germans and he knew with this mentality they would kill for him until the end (and they did).
Even Hitler and his Axis thought of him as America's greatest weapon. It's kinda funny how much respect he got from the enemies and his own allies (Eisnhower, Bradley, and the like didn't give him the respect as the enemies did).
We should have listened to him and went after the Russians because he knew they had no air strike and they were weak when the war ended. This would have saved us so many head aches in the future.
Case in point: If there was no Patton we would be worshiping Hitler and speaking German right now.
He was the King of all kings you sonofabitches!!!!!
