Once the war ended he was a liability because he never shut his mouth or held back how he felt. I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw. We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three. |

The show built a very good case (at the end) as to why Patton wasn't and why there was so much mystery around the death. Quoting: Beherenow I would not be shocked if Meltzer did not end up in some accident or meet some other tragic end. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72497214 United Kingdom 07/04/2016 02:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I recently read some WWII history where war leaders were planning a very risky operation. It was decided to give this potential suicide mission to Patton (Patton being unpopular with his seniors). The thought being that the Army would mutiny. Patton understood the situation and said he and his men would do it as they would follow him. It is only now I realised senior officers feared the power of Generals due to the loyalty of their men. I think Patton's accident and death was not regretted and very possibly arranged. |

Why do I love his ghost, well, I think it's here on Earth, and also I think he was brave, and furthermost, I think he COULD HAVE SAVED GERMANY, and I think furthermore that after him, evidence shows Germans were treated poorly, and I think further more, you all fuckin know this. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72497214 United Kingdom 07/04/2016 03:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Patton was a maverick and undoubtedly a psychopath. But Ike had a dirty little secret... In his 1989 book Other Losses, James Bacque claimed that Allied Supreme Commander Dwight Eisenhower deliberately caused the death of 790,000 German captives in internment camps through disease, starvation and cold from 1944 to 1949. Bacque charges that some of these deaths were DEF designated soldiers that could receive harsh treatment because they did not fall within the Geneva Convention protections. Stephen Ambrose, at the time director of the Eisenhower Center at the University of New Orleans, also organized a conference of eight British, American, and German historians, which disputed Bacque's claims.[41][41][42][43] Niall Ferguson wrote that Bacque's "calculations grossly exaggerate both the number of Germans the Americans captured and their mortality".[44] Ambrose did concede: "we as Americans can't duck the fact that terrible things happened. And they happened at the end of a war we fought for decency and freedom, and they are not excusable".[45] |

Battlehorse User ID: 68876286 United States 07/04/2016 04:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It would have to be very deep inside fighting though. He clearly was all for starting a War with the Russian's while the entire United States and GB and the other Allies were fully Mobilized and in the Field. Patton was a insider of the Freemasonic Club , Eisenhower , Churchill ,Macarthur ,Montgomery , Roosevelt , Bradley ,De Gaulle , Stalin , Mao and dozens of the top raking Generals. The thing is though he did not have the power to command any of the forces by his say so. At the time of his death he was not in command of any forces at all. The Upper levels of the club controlled all the power to assign forces to generals. Him being alive or dead would not make a difference. I do find something suspicious about his death and occurrences surrounding it though,just what the real story was or is we shall only know in the end. |
BunnySwanson User ID: 73101119 United States 01/11/2017 01:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you happen to know that none other than Barack Obama's maternal grandfather was a part of General Patton's squad (12/1945 to 4/1946) His military files were destroyed in military personnel office fire. Is this too odd? "Stanley Armour Dunham (1918–1992) Stanley Armour Dunham is the maternal grandfather of Barack Obama. He served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army during World War II, enlisting just after the attacks on Pearl Harbor. He and his wife Madelyn Dunham raised Obama in Honolulu, Hawaii. In addition to Obama, Stanley is related to six US presidents: James Madison, Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush.[41][42] He died in Honolulu, Hawaii, and is buried at the Punchbowl National Cemetery." [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] But it gets even stranger. Stanley Dunham, maternal grandfather of Obama, was related to Patton according to this family tree. Had a dream long ago which showed me the future and it was not pretty. Been watching closely ever since. |
