You said “Many of us would run through a minefield for him at this point. Literally.”
I’m hoping that we’re a little smarter than that. I’d crawl through on my belly with a knife poking the ground, but ... mmmm... running through....I think Patton said something like (paraphrasing): “our job is not to go out there and get killed, it’s to go out there and kill the other bastard”.
But I get what your saying and your correct.
Lol! You might be surprised by what patriots need to do sometimes.
I own the DVD. You have it right.
Patton said “to make the other poor stupid bastard die for his country.”
But it also showed Patton jumping on the ground to stand still and have a shooting match with a strafing fighter plane. So, heheh, you never know what you feel called to do.
