| I must strongly disagree. They were Generals. The press followed them around everywhere. If either of them so much as passed gas, what they had eaten was in the newpaper the next day! Patton was a soldier! Not a politician! He always spoke his mind. An indepth study of him and the press shows that he had enemies in high places. He was targeted by unscroupulous members of the press and the resulting mis-truths were not questioned at the time. But he was right about one thing: the Russians. 50 years of cold war proved that. |
