Patton was a great combat commander and, sadly, wouldn't be allowed to serve today. Can you imagine an area commander saying of the Taliban that "we're going to rip out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks"?
He's be cashiered for being "insensitive."
It's a sad pass we've come to.
