Best Answer

Although referred to as General George S. Patton Jr. (1923-2004), he was actually the IVth; shortly after his father's death in 1945, George legally had the IV dropped from his name. Now, just George S. Patton; he performed 3 tours in Vietnam, his last commanding the Blackhorse regiment in South Vietnam, the 11th ACR (Armored Cavalry Regiment). Colonel Patton's motto for his men: "Find the Bastards, then pile on!" Colonel Patton's father was WWII General Patton.
