My uncle served with old blood and guts. He was the one that brought Rommel down. If it wasn't for him Montgomery would still be in the desert with his head in his south end.

You know that the soldier paid for their right to run their mouths.

You should quote the post you are commenting about.
While in a general way I know what you are saying, and agree with it, I have no freaking idea what this comment is related to.
Back on the original topic, I have to point out that Patton was a "Johnny come lately" in North Africa, Monty, (who I detest ) did in fact push Rommel from Egypt all the way across Libya into Tunisia before we ever landed. What actually beat Rommel was British control of the Mediterranean, which kept his supplies at a trickle.
