re: Rommel Vs Patton

Patton would go all in on the turn with a jack high flush draw, Rommel would slow play a full house and take everybody's money.

You might have been joking, but this is actually 110% accurate about the character of both of them. Rommell was a smart mofo and if Berlin just listened to him on strategy, we would have been painting a different picture about how WW2 played out. We would have won eventually anyway.... but it definitely would have been different. Longer and bloodier, no doubt. Patton had the right attitude, at the right time but his way of thinking against a more formidable, stronger opponent would've been risky. But he saw weakness in his counterparts and followed through with sheer force and brutality.

It's too bad Mike Sherman didn't study Patton before the 2011 campaign tsk tsk.... lol
