During WWII, US tanks burned gasoline for fuel; during the Vietnam War US Patton and Sheridan tanks used diesel for fuel.
M48 Patton tanks entered US service after the Korean War and fought in the Vietnam War. The first of Patton series tanks, the M46 Patton, served in the Korean War. The M46 was simply a modified M26 Pershing tank. The M47 Patton never saw combat with the US military.
George Patton was a Wilsonian Democrat, not a conservative.
General Patton used tanks effectively against the German tanks, but overall, German tanks were better armoured, and had better guns than any thing the allies had late in the war. Sheer numbers were the deciding factor. The allies were able to produce ten times the tanks the Germans produced.
