I've been teaching some history lessons to my son, and I learned about how they used Patton as a decoy on D-day. He was truly respected by both sides, and in the end, once he met the Soviet jews as well as the captured Germans, he knew the truth

WW1 vets hated him.

You don't get to be in his position unless you're connected. His problem was, in his own words, he had been to Hell. It changed him. He saw the cost of his lifestyle and of the old boys networks back home. The ones he used to work for. The ones who's respect he used to crave.

Anyways.. read "The Bonus Army" (Dickson & Allen) to your boy.
