Audacity. Patton believed that in war, the boldest course was usually the safest. Hesitation leads to defeat; action generates its own luck.
When ordered to bypass the city of Trier because it would take four divisions to capture, Patton messaged back: "Have taken Trier with two divisions. Do you want me to give it back?"
During the Battle of the Bulge, while other generals argued over maps, Patton turned his entire Third Army 90 degrees north in the middle of a blizzard. It is considered one of the most brilliant logistical feats in military history.
