The way I see it, the Good Lord created George Patton for one particular purpose. When that mission was finished, He called him home.

As the young German officer in the movie said, "Peace will kill him. He is a magnificent anachronism".

Amen! When I attended the Armor School in 1970, our class leader gave a presentation somewhat thus:

"In the beginning was the word, and the word was Patton! And the Lord said unto Patton, `thou shalt build me a tank, and it shall be of thirty cubits by fifty cubits by eighteen cubits, and with it, thou shalt go forth, and kill Germans!'"

Later, I had the privilege of meeting his son, Maj. Gen. George S. Patton, III. Passed away only a few years ago, a fine soldier.

You're brighter than previously thought.
God just made a notation next to your name.
God creates all of us in his image for one purpose or another is correct.
.... in the background the arena audience does the big wave.
