Did Patton piss on enemy corpses? I doubt it. Do you think the parents and grandparents in America of the 1940’s would have cheered at a photo of him doing so? Maybe a few.

We don't know how much of Patton's war record has been sanitized out of the history books. I know enough about him to know that he was as politically incorrect as they come, and wasn't squeamish about killing the enemy, nor of beating him down in any way imaginable. The man understood the concept of war better than anyone in our current pc-infested bureaucracy.

Did Patton have to deal with an enemy as debased and degraded as the Taliban? No, he didn't. The Nazis back in Berlin may have been monsters, but the guys he fought on the battlefield were soldiers just like him. If he'd had to fight the Taliban, he might have ordered his guys to do a whole lot worse than piss on their war dead.

Can we get an answer to this question? There's a big difference between urinating into the Rhine River and urinating on a dead enemy.
