Amazing insight on one of the US's greatest military leaders. While often a loose canon...history has proven him right. His battle skill and tactics were far superior to any of those in the coalition or of the Germans.
But even more telling is how he was correct about Stalin and communism. While FDR was weak and clearly outmaneuvered by Stalin, Patton was silenced for speaking the truth. Churchill...arguably the greatest leader of the 20th century...knew that FDR was creating a disaster that would resonate to this day.
Imagine Patton running the army in today's terms...you think the PC police and the media were bad in the 40's...he would have never made it past Brigadier General in today's terms. Great documentary.
