Greatest American General

[Daniel David]

Sherman was a genius that saved the war for the North.

 

[KenH]

I thought that was U.S. Grant?

 

[Daniel David]

Grant was the one in charge, but Sherman saved the union.

 

[KenH]

You don't give the credit to Abraham Lincoln, eh?

 

[Daniel David]

Are you kidding? He just picked the fight.

George S. Patton, without a doubt.

I was going to add a few Patton quotes to support my assertion but after I edited the vulgarity all I had left was three prepositions and an exclamation point!

</font>[/QUOTE]Padre---leaving out Patton's "Glove Slappin'" incident and all of the profanity and the minor incident at the Rhur River---and just look at the mind of military genius---a true American that rivaled Field Marshall Erwin Rommell and whos military quick decisions made Rommell blush with envy---you don't win territory by slappin' Privates in the MASH unit or by cussin' in the Mess Hall---you win by out smartin' and out flankin' your enemy who is out to out smart and out flank you---anybody who can defeat an army of 2foot thick steel tanks with the "cardboard" tanks he had(the Sherman) deserves at least "Honorable Mention" on this thread---at least above any CSA General President Davis crowned!!!
