Talk:Gl. Patton/@comment-26353428-20150808134809

I did further research on the name of the tank to find out what it could mean. We already know that "Patton" must have somthing to do with the patton tank or General Patton. The part "Gl." Still confuses me. It can't be a direct take from General Patton's name because his full name is George Smith Patton Jr. It doesn't appear to be a known military term so that's out. The only thing i came up with is these three things:


 * "Gl" comes from the first and last letters of "General" Properly making the name mean "General Patton"


 * "Gl" Comes from "lieuteneant general" only reversed.


 * "Gl" comes from General Patton's first two initials "GS"
