"Anyone in any walk of life who is content with mediocrity is untrue to himself and to American tradition."

Even more revelant today.

Thank you for this very inspiring article, so timely.

Wondering do we have any Gen Patton's in our Military today.

In the vain of Gen. Patton are these:

Gen.Tommy Ray Franks ret., Lt.Col. Allen West, Lt. Gen. Russel L. Honore ret. aka "Stuck on Stupid" in NO, Katrina.

Special Mention of Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf decs.,

Do we have any such men in command that are active duty at this time, or could be if left alone to do their job.

I’m pretty sure they took word for word Patton’s speech that they used in the opening of the movie “Patton”....
In college, I had a recording of it and would play it every now and then out my window in the “bowl” made by our dorm buildings just for inspiration...
Favorite line: “We’ll go through them like crap through a goose...”
