True... Here are some Patton quotes to chew on:
"Magnificent! Compared to war all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God help me, I do love it so!" "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country." "We are going to kill German b*stards. I would prefer to skin them alive, but gentlemen, I fear some of our people at home would accuse me of being too rough." "Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way. " "May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't." "Sure, we want to go home. We want this war over with. The quickest way to get it over with is to go get the bastards who started it. The quicker they are whipped, the quicker we can go home. The shortest way home is through Berlin and Tokyo. And when we get to Berlin, I am personally going to shoot that paper hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler. Just like I'd shoot a snake!" And, finally, here's one that hints of Abu Gharib "Prisoner of War guard companies, or an equivalent organization, should be as far forward as possible in action to take over prisoners of war, because troops heated with battle are not safe custodians." --- On Friday, February 04, 2005 10:55 AM, Gruss Gott scribed: --- > > > It's not very PC but I don't think we should be surprised that the > people we train to kill don't shy away from it and find justifications > for it. > > Basically what the guy is saying is that killing nameless people your > gov't tells you to is much easier when you know they were slapping > around women.
