Patton is my favorite historical figure of all time. I have read DOZENS of books on the man and his speeches on film are very rare. His early life was more interesting to me than his exploits in WW2.
He was and will always be the real GSP!
my dad use to know a man that worked under Patton in ww2, worked real close to him and had very close daily contact. He said patton was mentally insane. He loved killing people and the only reason people praised him was because he killed while wearing a uniform. He said that he would have probably killed people even if he wasn't working for the government. Said he was a total nut job. |

I guess that is why he was the best at what he did and one ofg our best generals ever. If i am going into battle - i prefer to behind Patton than some panzi ass flak. |

Serious - if I were a soldier, which I am not, I would want the meanest, nastiest, ruthless, killer as my leader than some softy. You disagree? |

Yes I disagree. I would not want an immoral person to be in charge of who lives or who dies. He may be the last one standing on the battlefield, but he would have no limit on how many of your fellow soldiers or how many civilians would die in the process. I dont think putting a serial killer in a nice suit changes him into "the best general". I think a general should be rational and weigh options and be of good mental capacity. |

I think in War you fight the enemy with as much anger and venom as possible.
You give no quarter and take no prisoners.
You fight the enemy with everything you have.

Actually, Patton himself hated his own voice due to the high pitch and many people made fun of him in his younger years.

i disagree.. anger is a strong emotion and most times it leads to irrational decisions. |

Never. If I get angry at you, you did something pretty atrocious to deserve my anger. No remorse. |

In the era before electronic sound reinforcement systems a higher pitched voice was considered desireable in those who did a lot of public speaking...it "carried" more clearly. Patton may also have had an aversion of hearing his own voice played back...a great many people dislike hearing recordings of themselves. |

Maybe thats why he was so effective in combat? |
