In my opinion, this one-word response by General McAuliffe was the perfect embodiment of the American character.

Amen to that.

I always get a kick out of the scene in "The Battle of the Bulge" where the German general is handed a note with news of McAuliffe's response on it.

His question to his adjutant after reading the note is; "'Nuts'!? Vas ist 'Nuts'?"

That always cracks me up when I watch it.
