General George Smith Patton Jr. who led the tank battalions through Western Europe during World War 2 was called "Old Blood and Guts" because he was a warrior who charged quickly forward to defeat the Nazi enemy. He knew no fear and drove his men hard. But, he did win battles! See link below.

Special Note: He survived the war only to be killed in an auto accident in Europe. He died days later with his wife at his side. There is a movie called Patton that is worth seeing.
