my uncle served in the 3rd Army under Patton and wasn't to thrilled with him, either.
It's funny that someone recently posted in a military thread (the gay General and his husband) that Patton couldn't serve in today's Army of pussies. I wanted to retort that Patton, great field commander as he was, barely made it in the Army of the day. Ike promoted at least one subordinate over him (Bradley), removed from command, and almost sent him home a couple of times.

I think that point was made in the thread, Navy - that the PC of the day almost brought him down - so, of course he would not be able to survive today.
