Patton said, "We're gonna hold the enemy by the nose and kick him in the ass." But I think that even the great Patton would have preferred just gunning them down.
BRAVO ZULU to the Scots, a Scottish Regiment fought their way into a Marine encirclement, in the Korean War, to stand with the Marines. Col Drysdale led them in and he and his lads had guts aplenty. We celebrate it to this day with the Commandant/C.O. sending one another telegrams wishing one another's service well.
I think the Patton quote that serves this one better is:
You don't win a war by dying for your country, you win by making the other S.O.B. die for HIS country.
