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.

"Soldiers who served in World War I were paid $1 a day, plus a 25-cent stipend for every day spent overseas. In 1924, Congress passed a law calling for every veteran of The Great War to receive an additional dollar for every day served. But the payment was not due for 20 years."
WW1 vets were idiots for signing up in the first place. That entire war was ridiculous. This bonus was meant for their retirement, clearly, then they protested directly on federal property (not on sidewalks and whatnot), allowing cops and soldiers to remove them forcibly, as ordered by the president at the time. If you choose to work for the government, in any capacity, that's on you.
I'm not saying that Patton was some sort of genius. He was a soldier who eventually learned from his numerous mistakes. In the case I was mentioning, he figured out too late that he fought the wrong side. The good thing about him is that he can be used as an example of learning from your mistakes, far too late. Sort of a "look well before you leap" type of lesson.
> This bonus was meant for their retirement, clearly
It was a pay bonus. How could you get this so wrong?

The government made a deal with them. It then broke that. If you refuse to help your fellow citizens, the resulting jewish compromise we live with is on you.
> he figured out too late that he fought the wrong side.
If you accidentally fight for Satan, that's on you.
And now we have General George, dismissed and you know goddamn well threatened, like having your family threatened, by the same terrorists who killed General Patton.
