patton grew up in the cavalry. to patton and army is a lot like a horse. a horse is a big strong animal but also eats a lot and in a battlefield commission is very vulnerable to enemy fire. if you keep the horse standing in one place too long in a battle it will get mowed down so you better keep the horse running. patton felt an army was subject to the same rules as the patton -- as a horse. george's philosophy gave omar bradley fits for most of the sicilian campaign because brad thought that george was so wrapped up in attack, attack, attack that he never thought about the more mundane and less dramatic things like logistics'. how do we get the gas and bullets and biscuits to the man in a front? he never thought about safe, secure fleet to avoid being attacked from the side. george patton ran too many foolish risks and other men he knew would have to pay the price for patton's freshness. bradley by contrast was the product of the infantry. an infantryman doesn't have a tank to protect him or a horse's speed. bradley had a unique appreciation for the vulne

we're joined by cnn's nick patton walsh in northeastern afghanistan.hanistan with fewer nato troops actually look like. >> reporter: it's interesting you ask that. we're south of an area called newer stan, on the border with pakistan. voluntarily nato began pulling troops out from there about a year or mo ago, simply because they didn't see this mountainous area of valleys, small remote villages strategically being worthwhile pouring resources into. at the same time the surge heightened in the south, down in this area in the north there was less of a nato presence. we've seen subsequently in videos we've obtained that some towns there, the taliban claim they're back -- the government there as the dominant force. it's hard to verify that, although afghan officials do say in that particular area the taliban appear to have been in power since march when they say they moved into the area. this is a glimpse really of what people might start seeing in afghanistan if nato troops are significantly withdrawn. moving back was a strategic choice made by the ameri

cnn's nick patton walsh has been speaking to u.s. troops at the bagram air base in kabul. he joins us now. nick, what have they been telling you? >> reporter: interesting enough, zain, we didn't have huge numbers of people gathered around tv screens to watch the speech. people here know what really was coming roughly. they didn't know the exact numbers but they did know to expect some kind of drawdown. one soldier, just to give you a snapshot, it's their own personal opinions, one soldier privately saying we have to stay here, we have to finish the job. the cost to america was paid in 9/11. the cost in the budget now is not the point. we can't afford to leave. another one earlier saying, look, we got bin laden, that's the job done. it's time to reduce our numbers here significantly. it's fatigue, i think it's fair to say, in a majority of soldiers we've heard here. obama has sounded fairly anti-military, tough demand in the troops. let's look at the numbers really. we're talking about 10,000 here. that's a fraction of the 100,000 strong force here. two-thirds of that force

cnn nick patton walsh has answers from an isolated military outpost. >> reporter: everywhere you look here on the eastern border, the choices aren't good. out post caught between the taliban. if the americans leave, militants from pakistan will flow through the valley. if they stay, then every few days this happens. mortars hit the base. the last attack was long enough ago there's panic. they are worried the taliban have been preparing a big one. for days they have finally amassed around the compound and attacked. >> come on, hustle up, grab it and be ready. >> reporter: they use mortar first. the incoming fire is very accurate here. they arrange cover from heavy machine guns. >> as soon as they go, go quick. >> reporter: but the bullets are too close. >> never mind. >> reporter: locals scatters, just before huge american fire power have the last word. four massive air strikes on the hills and then the taliban fall silent. america new why it came here, but isn't sure why it's staying. >> can you get a -- >> reporter: ten minutes later, jets swoop in to the hills. a show of force for t

i like reading about generals as much as the next guy whether it's patton, whether it's ike, whether it's peter the great, whether it's napoleon, whether it's montgomery. well, not so much montgomery, he's a brit, and i'm a good irishman. [laughter] maybe we'll substitute for him, but i think you get my drift. as much as i like reading about these great men, what i like writing about and what tom and i like researching about is the ordinary grunts. and if you're going to spend several years delving into a situation, into the lives of people who want to destroyer or who held the hill in korea when it was 40 below and they were outnumbered 15,000 to 1 or whether it's a group of young men in saigon in 1975 who held it together when all hell was breaking across, that's why in particular this book, "last men out," was really such a pleasure to research, to report, to interview. the writing, eh, you know, that's a pain, but the writing is also a pain, and that's the end result of having fun doing all this other stuff. also those -- there's some scary bang-bang in our last two books, in fox
