Patton was a good tactician. But he was not, by no stretch of the imagination, one of the greatest military leaders of all time. Such accolades go to the likes of Napoleon, Grant, Shaka, Ho Chi Minh, Zhukov, Alexander the Great, Julius Caeser, Saladin, Hannibal Barca, Publius Cornelius Scipio and George Washington.
He was a great divisional general, but a world class military leader? I think not.

not a whole lot of MODERN military minds in that list. I didnt say in all of history, just modern warfare, basically meaning since the first World War.
