Patton must be rolling around.

Meh.  Patton cherished killing the enemy.  Not much else matters.

Meet the same non-watered down standards, do the same job. Let leaders fix individual idiots. Should be simple.

Yeah, from what I've read of Patton, I don't think he would have cared anything about the gender or orientation of a soldier, so long as the soldier was willing to follow his orders and kill the enemy...

Yeah, you're right.  They had to be capable of doing what he ordered.

"If you're a leader, you don't push wet spaghetti, you pull it. The U.S. Army still has to learn that. The British understand it. Patton understood it. I always admired Patton. Oh, sure, the stupid bastard was crazy. He was insane. He thought he was living in the Dark Ages. Soldiers were peasants to him. I didn't like that attitude, but I certainly respected his theories and the techniques he used to get his men out of their foxholes."
