Re: No Patton
I think it would have been a little worse with Bradley stepping into the void with no George Patton around. Bradley was an amazing commander, but Patton's unorthodoxed style and command methodology breathed a ceratin life into the stale "That's the way it's done" mentality somewhat pervasive in the military of that era. A room full of cats isn't interesting until you introduce a rocking chair!
