This is CBSI in the world. I'm John Bachelorette, Professor Lloyd Clark, whose no book is the commanders, the leadership journeys of George Patton, Bernard McCummery, and Erwin Rommel.

We go to Patton at war, but surprisingly not at war in the Great War on Europe. You will remember that the US did not enter that war until 1917.

However, Patton in 1916 found his way onto the expeditionary force led by John Pershing in New Mexico.

What's striking about this with all the time they had on their hands is that Patton wound up making what he called a vehicle attack on one of Pancho v.s. lieutenants, Julio Cardanis, and surprising to me, Professor, at this point Patton has this imagination that I'm going to be a hero.

And he kills the man. He shoots him dead. He launches the attack. Did the death in any way show up in his writing to his parents at this time? Did he pause about it? Shooting a man is different than imagining it.

I don't think it prayed on his mind at all. This is a man who, from his first days in the Army's sort action, sought to be a hero and was willing to do whatever it took to be successful. However, that might be defined.

He just getting onto the expedition to Mexico. He was not backwards in coming forwards. He was always innovating. He was always pushing the boundaries.

And therefore, he recognized that he would have to take risks. And that if warfare was about anything, it was about defeating the enemy. And if, therefore, somebody got in his way and he had to kill him, that was just the price that people paid.

And he was willing to be the person that pulled the tree up when it was required.

And he gained fame at this moment, at least in the newspapers. He was dubbed the Bandit Killer. He was also someone already preaching cavalry tactics, which I write down as mobility, boldness and aggression.

They haven't invented the tank yet, but he's already talking like a tank commander.

Yes, absolutely. It seems to be that the tank was just waiting for him to embrace. He was a man that really understood the power of the media right from the outset, tried to put himself in the spotlight.

So when an opportunity arose, he could exploit it ruthlessly, as he was eventually to do with the tanks.

In January of 1914, Bernar McCummery is deployed with the Royal War Workshers. He's an adjunct and the first battalion of the fourth division, the 18th Brigade. They're deployed against what they believe will be a short war.

Because Germany is overwhelmed with enemies on the east and west. However, the Germans, as we know, make the dash towards Paris and overwhelm the BEF, what remains of the BEF is it's fractured by the German advance.

And the French inability to hold it until until just in time. However, what's significant here is that Bernar McCummery is a brave young man who leads his platoon with his sword waving completely out of date, a sword waving against troops that are armed with automatic weapons.

Is this when he shot in the chess professor, the long wound and shot again in the leg and he's left out there in no man's land, badly wounded.

What are his thoughts that he writes down about that time out there when he was not there alive and are dead sort of in between the world?
