"It was here.....The Carthaginians defending the city were attacked by three Roman legions. The Carthaginians were proud and brave but they couldn't hold. They were massacred. Arab women stripped them of their tunics and their swords and lances. The soldiers lay naked in the sun...........Two thousand years ago. I was here."

That was an incredible scene, and true to life. Patton really believed that about himself. He was a nut, but a freak-genius-of-war nut.
