Patton: Proud Of These Men

[@sbgibbons99]

[@scottferris6309]

George Patton was the richest army officer during World War II. His family owned hundreds of acres of vineyards in what is now Pasadena, California. He didn't have to pursue a military career. He could have spent his life living in carefree luxury, yet he chose to serve. That says a lot about his character.

[@demonlordomegaacepilot7090]

Scott Ferris only his wife was rich and his family. Patton had a poor job in military he didnt make much as capt or major not until he became a general please read patton genius for war by carlo de este. Shows you a 1200pg biography of the man.

There are many great men among the youtube commentors, everyone comments on it and everyone watches stuff on it. To say there is not is sheer ignorance. And yeah you are right everyone has feet of Clay, I myself am a big admirer of General George S Patton he was a man among men and a force to be reckoned with.

[@stevevandien310]

Patton kept up with his men during the attack on Bastogne. Yes, he road in a Jeep most of the way. But he did not significantly shelter himself along the way. He endured frostbite on his face. Patton also ordered that every Third Army soldier would have a hot turkey dinner on Xmas. My late uncle Doug was a corporal in the Third Army. He never permitted anyone to criticize Patton in his presence or within earshot.

[@williamt.sherman9841]

any officer from Regimental Commander up needed to ride in a Jeep. No ifs ends or buts about it- unless you were Airborne and as soon as you could get a Jeep you got one. Anyone who knows anything about being a high ranking officer knows why. Just like when Generals rode on horse back they had to be mobile enough to ride all over the battlefield to make sure their instructions were being followed- and to confer with subordinates and superiors as necessary. No one of such a rank could do otherwise and many of Patton's rank chose to either stay at a command post or fly in a piper cub or C-47.

[@Alamandorious]

There are names that resound through history...names of leaders that have not only achieved recognition from their own troops, but from the enemy as well. Isoroku Yamamoto...the military genius of Japan that accurately predicted how the war in the Pacific would play out. Erwin Rommel...one of the few members of the German High Command that didn't have war crimes smearing his name, and was known to be a gentleman to his troops and his foes. George Patton...an officer that didn't come from a wealthy background, brilliant tank commander who wasn't afraid to be among his men. There are others, but when you think WW2, in a military sense you think of these three men most commonly.

[@mojojojoslyfoxharris]

The greatest thing about Patton is that he wanted the American army to be great! He truly believed it was his destiny to the lead the American army to victory in a major war and by god he did it! Patton might have lost men due to his aggressive way of leading, but I truly believe that if he had been more laid back like Bradley, the battles he won would have taken more time and still cost just as much if not more men. In other words, Patton's aggressive style ensured that the battle was won without risking going on as long as it needed to.

[@freakyflow]

Baddest thing about Patton is he attacked his own men killing a few and removing there hope of getting paid the money they were owed ...However i doubt you learn about that in American history books or American media

The Army was given notice to use force to remove them by any means .. Men Horses and Tanks were used to remove them Patton and Macarther were given the roles to inforce it and later Roosevelt Paid for his actions as it was apart of the 1936 elections and lost votes.

Joseph Harris look up stephen e ambrose e victory day and look up patton a genius for war by carlos de este youll find out how amqzing he truly was. Stephen e praises ike. But in patton genius for war it shows patton was more competent than ike. In the book from his child hood to the very end of war. He shows his suffering from add and adhd including dyslexia. Then managing to graduate at west point with incredible high score and even HELPING IKE in his schooling by passing him his notes to pass! Patton wouldve made a better supreme allied commander than ike. The germans feared him because he was the best and no one could match him not even rommel himself. Lets also point to account Metz was a sabotaged op for patton. Before the battle, ike ordered 3 of pattons armored divison, north of the allied frontlines. If patton had those 3 armored divisions he wouldve taken metz. But he was left with 40000 something troops composed of light army artiller and inf. Thats not enough to siege monster defense metz. Just read the books 1200pg and 800 pgs youll gain alot more respect for patton than you have right now. HE IS THE BEST GENERAL WE HAD IN WWII. HE IS THE REASON WE WON WWII. HIM AND HIS THIRD ARMY.

Patton had one thing an Officer can't buy. Respect. And the only way to slow him down was take away his supplies......

[@gruntforever7437]

One little known fact was that before the war and they were first trying to get an Armored Division together, parts were scarce and the budget was not there to buy them. Patton out of his own pocked spent thousands of dollars getting those parts to keep his vehicles going

My next door neighbor was the legendary Russell Dunham who along with Audie Murphy earned every bravery medal the USA had to offer got his DSC at Bastogne and his medal of honor for action in France in '45 thought highly of George Patton. On the road to Monte Cassino he was underneath a truck stripped down to underwear bc it was so muddy changing out a broken axle on an ammo truck with his Lt when someone blocked their light. The Lt came storming out from under the truck "who is blocking my light, GD it the old man needs this ammo". It was Patton and he wanted to know what the hell they were doing? The Lt responded Dad had a Dodge garage back home in Nebraska and I used to help the mechanics and it's too muddy to waste a clean uniform and I can change this axle out. Patton's respnse "Well Ok Lt. I can see I got two SOBs that know what they are doing. I will see all you boys later."

General George Patton had the combat spirit he will jumped right away on the enemy & will do what ever is possible not to be beaten he decided to become an officer because wanted to fulfill his largest dream which I guess was natural for him to lead men under his leadership & especially in the fronts if possible office jobs was hell for him without doubts was very capable officer & during the Normandy operation was one of the most feared by the Germans many times was criticized for what he had said publicly however in any given crisis was able to hold the front & in reality that's only counts .

The music would scare the crap out of the Germans! The American Fighting Man in WWII---kicked Japanese and German butt and won the War in under 4 years, from basically a standing start.

My late grandfather fought in WW2 and he was wounded during the battle of the bulge January 1945 and we know it was a turning point of the war

[@finjakke]

Hardly a turning point, more like a last ditch effort. But still, a tremendous victory by the allies and especially the Americans.

Why can't we be like these men now, delivering supplies, PPEs, masks, medication to the front lines. My son is an MD in a New Orleans hospital and works night and day treating Covid patients. New Orleans has been our Bastogne for months, but we have no leader like Patton

@@Commodore22345 Maybe, I should not have compared it with Bastogne. Maybe, I should have compared it to Fallujah. I have seen enough combat to say that we are losing the war against Covid because of the buffoon we have as our leader. As far as you go, I think the only combat you have seen is what you watch on TV.

@@Commodore22345 I will repeat, I have faced combat. If you really were a military guy, you would ask other kinds of questions. I don't give a damn what you believe. I know; my family and friends know about how I served my country. You don't. Now look, Trump has Covid and is very ill. His wife and staff are infected due to his idiotic approach. (Inject Clorox, right?) Covid was here way before the China ban. It entered the US from Europe. This virus is dangerous and we should be waging war against this virus. You are very misinformed and you demand to remain ignorant. If you are not careful, you will follow our lunatic president off a cliff. Listen to the scientists and doctors. They know.

[@TheMotz55]

​@@Commodore22345 Trump would never have gone to the hospital if he wasn't ill. He could have been treated at the WH. You just don't get it. 210,000 US deaths were not enough for you. Now that our lunatic president has the virus, all of you lemmings are going gaga. Trump very seriously said injecting disinfectant would clear up the virus This is the exact quote and it was verified "And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs." Injecting that stuff will kill you and our lunatic president thinks it's a cure. Thank God, Trump will lose in November. I will no longer reply to you. You are too far into this cult.
