Eisenhower kept Patton out of the war for 1 year after he slapped those 2 soldiers who was believed suffering from battle fatigue..............Eisenhower allowed the media, and public attention to govern his decision processes. It was a fatal mistake, costing thousands of American lives in Normady, and elsewhere, and this may have also cost the lives of many Jews for not keeping him in the battlefront. He was already disciplined, and made his apologies to everyone with an explanation. For Patton this almost like a Court Marshall. One the best War Generals Ike had, who stayed on the battlefront. We were a world at war, and to make a decision like this based on the offense may have relieved the 2 soldiers but at what cost?.................
