The Last Days of Patton - Trailer 1986 Movie

I've always wondered that. Timing was too convenient. Probably HRC's father.

SFC Mark Merino - I have been laughing for a while, right on the money!

Bill O'Rielly wrote a pretty interesting book "Killing Patton" that covered a lot of the theories about his death. I, for one, think it was what it was, an accident. He had been relieved and sent home to retire before his death, and posed no threat to either the Allied powers or even the paranoid Soviets.

But he may have been a threat to the political machine back in the states

Awesome and sad pictures.

I have thought it over and read some of the theories on his death. IMHO he had already been relieved and put to pasture. While someone of his rank and title might have been a danger in some ancient societies or third world countries Patton had no political pull in the US. The US Army was not like the Roman legions of old where the soldiers were willing to throw in with the leaders against he country itself. US soldiers simply wanted to go home and the professional officer Corps understood that it owed allegiance to the constitution and country, not a General.
