 It was great to read this post on Patton. I enjoyed what everyone had to say regarding the comparisons between Patton and CW Leaders. Very interesting!

My father took me to see Patton when I was nine years old. The movie scared the heck out of me, but also left a lasting impression, and gave me a lifetime appreciation for the American Armed Forces.

" Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity."
- George Patton

FYI: There is a General George S. Patton Memorial Museum near Indio, California, if you are ever in the area. It's small and informal, but worth a quick stop if you are passing through.
