To: Absolutely Spiffing Old Bean

The way to fight disrespect is to do respectable things.

Joe Stolen, or more exactly the oligarchy behind him, is concentrated on doing things that bring great disrespect on America, the Office of the Presidency, and the entire chain of command of our military services, forced to give lip service to the civilian authority placed over them.

General George S. Patton, US Army, was a man given to ignoring orders when he saw an opportunity to make huge inroads. He crossed the Rhine and started his army rolling toward Berlin, eventual objective Moscow, when the orders came over radio to stop and turn back. Patton, did, reluctantly, but swore that if ever he had another opportunity for a breakthrough, he would smash all his radios and just keep on going. It would have shortened the war by most of a year. And the US would have occupied Warsaw instead of Frankfurt.

Officer: Sir, General Alexander has heard we’re moving west. He says “stop immediately. Go no further than Agrigento..” Repeat: “stop immediately.”

Patton: That’s what you think it says. I think it was garbled in transmission. Ask them to retransmit the message, and take your time about it. That’ll take half a day at least. Now, Brad, where were we?
