Making all of this a little suspect.

Patton's son, George Patton III, rose to the rank as well.

That was his relative, grandfather I think.
IIRC has father died earlier in a plane crash.
His Grandfather would have said much more with a lot nore flair and profanity.

That was his father, who would have slapped him unconscious,
and then filled his head with lead from two Ivory handled revolvers.

No, what is suspect is your knowledge. George S. Patton, Jr. died in 1945;
his son (note the use of "III") also graduated from USMA and also retired as
a general officer, having served a couple of tours in Vietnam (first as
Regimental Commander of the 11th ACR, then as a BG IIRC serving as an ADC).

In May 1972, the Boston Phoenix reported that Kerry had defiantly
given his medals back to the U.S. government during one of his many
protests. New York Times columnist Bill Keller wrote in September
2002 that the senator invited him to view 40 minutes of films Kerry
made depicting his war exploits. Keller wrote that anti-war doves
would still support the man they remembered for "throwing his war
ribbons onto the steps of the Capitol."

When pressed about what happened to his medals, Kerry now says
the medals he threw away were not his and that his are displayed in his
Senate office.

Retired General George S. Patton III would later angrily charge that
Kerry's actions had "given aid and comfort to the enemy."

Supremely arrogant and demonstrably contemptuous of the voting public,
Kerry nevertheless regularly touts his military experience during his
presidential run. But he forfeited the right to do that 30 years ago.

Come to think of it, if he continues to posture as a war hero, he'll
lose
the friendship of Ramsey Clark, Angela Davis, and the Daily World.

Could we please stick to military aviation and can the OT political
crap?

Kerry says he knows something about Aircraft Carriers.

Eleanor Clift has done a pre-emptive strike on the Republicans:

And just what were your war exploits? Anything?

I am less of an American than General Patton III if that is
what you mean, but I respect his views on Kerry.

Your source is in error. The WWI and WWII hero was "Jr."
His father changed his middle name from William to Smith, and
therefore was not a "Jr."
