>>You're too young to know any soldiers who served under Patton.
>>It's leadership- getting people to do the things they know they have to do, especially when they think that they can't.
Couple of responses:
1) Patton didn't have judges in Hawaii contradicting his orders, or congresswomen and Senators second-guessing and criticizing all the way. ;-)
2) He was a good wartime leader but didn't do quite so well apart from that. Eisenhower called him a "problem child" and contemplated benching him a couple of times, e.g. after he struck two juniors. Not sure you could expect to emulate that today and when they've finished purging all the racist statues, I expect he'll be branded a bully whose statues need to come down because they celebrate white male privileged warmongering/domineering facist behavior patterns that have no place in Rainbow USA.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
