Marlon Brando was the one that refused an Oscar due to treatment of Native Americans.

Eichelberger wrote a very good book. Arguably the best American army commander of the war (8th Army) but few know of him because he was low key and fought in New Guinea, Biak and the Philippines under MacArthur, who hogged the press for himself. MacArthur's other army commander, Krueger, (6th Army) is unsung too.

Yes, Granbury's Texas brigade fought under Cleburne at Ringgold Gap. That's a nice little park at Ringgold Gap on Rte. 41 and it has several tablets and markers from WPA days about the fight here and Uncle Billy's jump off for Atlanta the next year. And of course the superb statue of Cleburne, which is fairly recent.

Cleburne was about the only rebel who made a good showing at Chattanooga; holding off Uncle Billy on the north end of Missionary Ridge and then holding off Joe Hooker at Ringgold Gap. He was a ranker in the British Army you know, and believed in thorough training, his division was the best trained in the Army of Tennessee.

Scott was about as good as he ever was in the late 60's into the early 70's.

Patton is great, but watch Petulia 1968 (The lowish ranking doesn't surprise me) and The Hospital. Both are excellent films.
