Of course, when you talk like Patton in addressing radical Islamic terrorism, you don't know what your taking about, and you're probably making the situation worse.  

Tough talk and even tough actions doesn't stop terrorism, which is an asymmetric struggle that, in part, actually relies of tough talk by infidels to convince people the West is against Islam.  

Patton was successful waging symmetrical warfare:  that is waging war against standing armies of sovereign nation.  The war against Islamic terrorism is nothing like this.

The one asymmetric campaign Patton participated in, in Mexico to kill or capture Pancho Villa, ended in failure, other than killing a few Mexican bandits.
