8:28 pm
project? >> his success was being out in the front. they said he was not afraid to be seen, and he wanted his leaders to be seen. he encouraged one leader pat one time to send more troops to the front, specifically officers. he said i want you to keep the officers out there until you get a few of them killed. the commanding officers being 100 yards behind the troops in the action. he made his point, he made it known who was in command and he did whip the army into shape just in a matter of weeks. >> in the end, patton's words live in infamy. and congratulations on the book,
8:29 pm
