I propose a new CSFMB Award on Veterans Day. "The Patton Slap" to be given to someone you respect that you feel "jumped the rails" in a certain situation. My first nominee: Coach Trestman for not seeing what 10 million Bear fans saw,a wounded Jay Cutler. Congrats Coach,now get it together and get back out there! |

wasn't that slap a disgrace to the uniform, especially from a person so steeped in military etiquette? |

I guess Patton couldn't understand an able bodied man using "mental anguish" as an excuse not to fight. I think Patton was admonished for doing that but I have not checked that on the internet. |

He was sort of reprimanded. Bradley was promoted past him because Patton was too crazy. He was then basically used as a decoy in Operation Fortitude, which was interesting as hell. I always thought they should make a movie out of that. Wiki of the basics if anybody is interested - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Fortitude |
