Featured review
No Conspiracy to Assassinate General Patton
I thought the entire premise of the title of the movie/documentary was to prove a conspiracy theory to silence General Patton? So, in my opinion, the film misses the mark. Charles Province summed the conspiracy theories all up when he said, "They didn't kill Patton...but they were glad he was dead." They being the Russians and the president and the military high command i.e. FDR, Truman, George Marshall, Dwight Eisenhower, and Omar Bradley. Certainly Eisenhower was thinking about his political future at the end of the War which explains a lot about him (Patton mentions this many times in letters to home and in his book, "War As I Knew It"). The Russian's played our leaders like fools. And we didn't learn our lesson about de-Nazification when we instituted de-Baathification in Iraq. General George S. Patton was right in so many ways...its a damn shame. We have the same problem today: with a certain brainless leader who knows more than his generals and national intelligence advisors.
