Patton's greatest trait was his understanding that once you force the enemy out of a prepared defensive position you should never give him time to prepared another. Much harder to make a fighting withdrawal that it is to defend a prepared position.
Dick: I not calling anyone a liar here but when they were advancing at the rates that Patton and others were there is no way the infantry soldiers walked and kept up with the tanks. Another thing that smells about that is tanks get muddy just by driving them in muddy terrain. A lot of people don't like Patton or MacArthur for that matter so a lot of derogatory things have been said. I recreantly read a book that was supposed to be a real book on some oddities in history. The author is a current high school history teacher. He claims in his book that MacArthur voluntarily fled the Philippines and abandoned his solders there and was stupid. A lot of general officers were relieved during WWII, reduced to permanent ranks of Ltc or COl, returned to the US and put in charge of training, supply depots or POW camps. Had Patton or MacArthur been as bad as claimed both would have been sacked.
