I just dont see it happening.. Patton .. like me.. can never keep his mouth shut.. and had a unique ability to rub folks the wrong way.. even when trying to throw a compliment he still manages backhanded insults along the way ..
Hard nosed general who likes to win.. check
great motivator of large troops.. check
well educated.. check..
pompous primadona .. check
Loud mouthed fast tempered man.. check
President of the United States? no
Whilst i agree with Patton's idea taht if we were going to go to war with the russians that 1945-46 was the time.. after 50 war was a bad venture to undertake and with George as president..Korea would get ugly.. then SE asia.. and many other places..
ike.. was a politician.. he was a bureaucrat, someone who managed things on a large scale and new how to keep things even keeled ... granted he may be overshadowed by his successor JFK and his assassination and ensuing martyrdom Ike did put out a great deal of effort to get things moving that Kennedy picked up on..
