"The Speech" - General George S. Patton, Jr. (WARNING: Profanity!!)

Well, sometimes it takes a Patton. In war a Patton is required. Patton wasn't a soldier of attrition, he was a flank and maneuver man. He had seen the trenches of the First World and detested them. His troops had to be keyed up and more afraid of George than the Germans yet their respect for him was unmatched. It sad that the civilian press stabed him in the back every chance they got. The press always has problems with military leadership becuse the different nature of two trades.

A lot of Americans returned from Europe rather than became part of the soil because of him.

We need Pattons now and the kind we need are Captains and Sargents not Generals.

Good man! And bump.

Maybe, just maybe, the pansification of America is OVER. All these politically correct pussies need to be cast aside here and need to be told one thing.

"Do ya wanna live, or die." The PC stuff is gonna get us killed.

We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.

My favorite part right there. I turned tail once in my life. I regret that to this day. I would much rather take an ass kicking than be a yellow coward. That's not to say that avoiding a fight if possible is not the best way to go. It is, but this fight here is unavoidable. This fight is for the survival of America.

The press didn't like Patton, the same way the press doesn't like the military or patriots: they fear the concept of "Men". Real Men, who'd defend their nation, firing a rifle round into the guts of an enemy soldier. Unlike a certain former pig White House resident who fired his "gun" into a lavatory sink.

into a lavatory sink. among other things.

That kind press at that time the would have never set a pencel to paper in the land of the Axis. Work camp material you know. Defenders of freedom, indeed.

[SwinusMaximus]

Damn! Even dead Patton's got more going for him than most of our live upper echelon brass. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

As many of you know, I help with the FreeRepublic fundraisers. It is not always easy or fun sitting at a computer for hours and hours monitoring those threads. Everyone who work the threads VOLUNTEERS to do so. We spend days and weeks helping to keep FreeRepublic running.

Ask yourself these questions:

Where is the first place I go to get my news?
Am I getting any benefit from FreeRepublic?
Am I learning from FreeRepublic?

FreeRepublic is not free. It costs Jim Robinson tens of thousands of dollars to keep this forum running. There are over 60,000 registered users on FreeRepublic and only 1,000 help keep this forum running. Those who do not have the ability to donate money could help by bumping the threads once in a while. Those who who do should be ashamed of yourselves. You are a FReeploader.

Go ahead, flame me. I don't care. I contribute to FreeRepublic, and I for one do not want to see this forum dead.

If everyone who registered donated one measly dollar a month, we would never have to have a fundraiser again.

Thanks for the ping, W! I love this:

We're going to murder those lousy Hun cocksuckers by the bushel-fucking-basket. War is a bloody, killing business. You've got to spill their blood, or they will spill yours.

Pretty much sums it up.
