Patton was a great General and man of God. The Holy Spirit worked well through him. May we always find open hearts and faithful people willing to serve and obey God.
But the clearing skies and Patton’s progress were both answers to the 101st Airborne’s prayers, hayna? Or no?
Didn’t Eisenhower pray for the weather to cooperate on D-Day?
Amen, what a jerk for a reporter! We need a lot more Pattons and a lot fewer Al Gores today!
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lefty’s take on it,Patton asked GOD for fair weather,True American Warrior RIP Sir.
Earth to reporter: Patton knew he couldn't control the weather which is why he asked for God's help.
In today’s military the US needs a lot more leaders like Patton. Instead the US has a bunch of pansiified military leaders that are ballless wonders and have no backbone to so to the president and Congress go to h - e- double hockey sticks and start knocking some doors down to deal with the problems in the world. A pansified military like the gay Thebes military and the gay Spartan military were all wiped out. Military leaders whom are strong pray to God. It is the weak military leader whom relys on himself to think he knows what God thinks that is the problem.
Patton prayed to God and asked if was in his will for the 3rd US Army to be able to have a battle against the forces of evil that Germany represented. Patton also wanted to keep going eastward and wipe out the SOBs in Russia, but Patton died shortly after the war was over in a military vehicle and horse drawn carriage accident (what an irony)
“The prayer also makes one question what led Patton to his conviction that he could control the weather?”
I think the writer doesn’t understand the whole prayer thing. Patton control the weather? No, he couldn’t, so he asked for divine help.
Let's be honest here. Fuel and supplies weren't "running short" as if it were some sort of supply problem. Eisenhower put the brakes on Patton's devastating thrust towards Germany in favor of Montgomery's ridiculous Market Garden fiasco. If Patton had gotten all the logistical support he needed, I really believe he might have ended the war by Christmas.
“Wars aren’t won by dying for your country. ‘’Wars are won by making the other dumb son of a bitch die for his’’.— General George Patton. Lord, do we need soldiers like this.
