Did you know that George Patton, Jr., was presumably like his father a DEMOCRAT?

Patton would cut and run from Iraq 30 days after defeating only the conventional component of the enemy's forces? Ouch.

If B&G were alive and President, Saddam would be court-martialed and executed already, Mecca would be a smoldering, radioactive crater, and he would personally (not to mention entirely appropriately) bitchslap Janis Karpinski and Lynndie England.

This report has some of it wrong. PATTON would not have left IRAQ after thirty days; he would have left ONLY after he invaded and conquered Syria, IRAN, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. THEN he MIGHT leave!

Indeed. We move out, Iran and Syria moven in. Iraq either becomes Lebanon or another Iran.

Would he consider those that will not secure our borders in time of war to be traitors?

I read Patton's diary in paperback and one thing I remember him mentioning was his dislike of Islam.

He thought it was the reason they were so backward. He also was disgusted with their treatment of their animals which he also blamed on Islam.

Interesting comment.

Patton didn't suffer peaceniks and pantywaists lightly. What say ye?

....and welcome to the Free Republic.

This piece is a farce. Patton would have sworn every other word, yet in this piece there is nothing.

Are you insane? Read the Patton Papers by Martin Blumenson. Here's what he thought of Truman upon hearing the death of FDR (Volume II, 1940-1945, page 685), "It seems very unfortunate that in order to secure political preference, people are made Vice Presidents, who were never intended, neither by Party nor by the Lord to be Presidents."

Patton's family were wealthy landowners, he would be the equivalent of the squires of Orange county if he were alive today all of whom are Republicans in good standing.

He would consider those who wish to undermine our war efforts to eliminate or subdue our enemies as traitors, I hope I've made myself clear to you!!!!

If Patton gave a televised speech, we'd probably all be laughing. Don't confuse Patton and George C. Scott. As Dr. Allan Millett, one of the best WW II historians in the US, put it, "Patton would have killed for George C. Scott's voice." Patton had a very high-pitched voice, which got even higher as he got excited. Millett joked that when Patton became extremely excited, only dogs could hear him.
