The PC police probably don't like his language for their safe-space but Patton was a true warrior for freedom. When assessing current events we should recall the good General's words on Russia:
"The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European but an Asiatic and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinaman or a Japanese and, from what I’ve seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other amiable characteristics, the Russian has no regard for human life and is an all out son of a bitch, a barbarian, and a chronic drunk"
"God have mercy on my enemies...Because I won't"
PATTON KNEW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE COMMUNISTS!!!! He was KILLED for it!!! YES, I AM YELLING!!!!!
Greatest American general ever after Washington but a huge racist.
Understanding the basic differences among the world's races does not make someone a racist. I would hope military leadership especially would use that to advantage both leading our troops and confronting our enemies.

He had an extremely low opinion of anyone with darker skin than himself, so call it whatever you like. Like I said, brilliant General but an ignorant man in many ways. Flawed, like everyone else.
Knock it off.
Read his books and his own words, then GFY!
I’ve read many Patton books, I have his books, best reading ever is the Patton Papers vol I & II. If your take-away of one of the finest men God ever made is he’s a RACISS! you’re a thin-skinned pinko. Just the kind of person he loathed.
Whatever, Karen.
