Seriously? Do you really think I didn’t know that? I’m a retired Army officer, veteran of the 2nd Armored Division and MG George S. Patton IV was my Division Commander. I realize you couldn’t possibly have known that, but I did put Magnificent Bastard in quotes...
It was the fact that you did put Magnificent Bastard in quotes that signaled to me you were quoting Patton who was speaking of Rommel when he said, “You magnificent bastard, I read your book.”
Thank you for your service! Unfortunately, there are far too many people who have no idea about our military history. I am not among them as military history is my passion.
