Patton

PH. It is apparently that you weren't taught history or the usual Hollywood bravado when portraying our hero's. Did you even watch the film? The movie portrayed the 101 surrounded on all sides and Patton to the rescue. Your review comes over as someone who wishes Patton would have lost, thus many lives. Patton was the General that the allies needed and America produced. Thank God for that man and his ego, otherwise Sir many more would have died. It was also a race between Russia and the allies to get to Berlin fist, If I may suggest once you are done learning about WW2 you might want to research Berlin and post war. Although the race was on, Patton was very much aware the war could still be lost. Yes, he wanted to win the war, what professional soldier doesn't? There was no debunking Patton, since if it were not for his ego Sir, your America and much of Europe could be a different place today. You should thank God for this man and others like them because you have no idea of his courage, accomplishments nor the lives he saved in help defeating Hitler and Axes powers. Your comments are offensive, based upon little knowledge on the subject matter nor an understanding to what this man and the III Army did to defeat the Nazi machine. It is unfortunate that you felt it was more necessary to dishonor the man instead of critique the film. You should be grateful to General Patton and others like him, who make it possible everyday for you to write utter nonsense.

In reading your review of Patton, I am astonished at your having this job, seeing that you missed the very essense of the man himself. I would say though that this review falls well in line with the media of the present times. They are most excellent in armchair quarterbacking everything, and especially judging men that they themselves couldnt possibly live up to in character.
