You're Top Poster: #2 | General George Smith Patton Jr. GCB, KBE (November 11, 1885 – December 21, 1945) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_S._Patton George S.Patton photo.jpg General George Smith Patton Jr. GCB, KBE (November 11, 1885 – December 21, 1945) was a leading U.S. Army general in World War II in campaigns in North Africa, Sicily, France, and Germany, 1943–1945. In World War I he was a senior commander of the new tank corps and saw action in France. After the war he was an advocate of armored warfare but was reassigned to the cavalry. In World War II he commanded major units of North Africa, Sicily, and the European Theater of Operations. The popular image of "Old Blood and Guts" contrasts with historians' image of a brilliant military leader whose record was marred by insubordination and some periods of apparent instability.
