General George Smith Patton loved war, and he was good at it. Nothing was above a soldier. The fighting man was the ulitmate human being to General Patton; and courage above all, was to be most admired in a man. He detested cowards. He commanded tank divisions in Europe during WW2, and was killed in a traffic accident while going pheasant hunting in Europe in 1945. His son, also named George S. Patton was a Colonel commanding the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (11th ACR/Blackhorse Regiment) in Vietnam; he recently passed away in the 21st century.
He was a famous general who was a key figure in operations such as the battle of the bulge. He led the third army in World War 2, was a captains aid during the expedition to Mexico, and led a Calvary unit in WWI. Patton was also commissioned as a 2nd LT.in the army in 1909 at a very young age. Patton fought through three wars and ironically died in a horse and buggy accident in Berlin. The German Army wanted Pattin dead so badly and a horse kills him after the war. Patton was very important in WWII and played a huge roll in key operations. Patton is known as a war master mind and will be remembered. Another quick fact about him is he was one of the first Generals to very very very belligerent to his soldiers. Also, he went to the Olympics for shooting but didn't win much because when most chose a 28. revolver,Patton felt the event's military roots garnered a more appropriate weapon, the .38
