-- Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, June 5, 1944
Today, one suspects he'd be relieved of command.
“Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations.”
I bet today Patton couldn’t have gotten that prayer to be read.
