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.

If by "PC of the day" you mean a prohibition against slapping the shite out of soldiers with "shell shock" or what we'd now diagnose as acute PTSD, sure.
