"The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."

-- General George Patton

Great speech. Patton was a bit unhinged but he knew how to fight.

Good post.

An absolute classic!

Brave men are going to die soon.

I pray our victory is swift and our causulties are very light.

Excellent speech. Taught me how to cuss with more proficiency. Patton is a classic.

.....Many thanks for posting this wonderful speech....I was in the Army in the late 60s and served with men who had fought in WW2, Korea and VietNam, but yet those who had been with Patton were proudest of that period of their Army career.....they never forgot it.....Patton was fond of making impromptu visits to units in the field to encourage the troops....the men loved it....they would crowd around him just to be in his presence....they loved him for who he was and he loved being George Patton.....

Good luck to everyone and pray for our troops!

Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men. Well that would pretty much take care of Americas "Arteest" population.... The universities, the liberal press, and at least half of our govt. employees and politicans.. hmmmm

A caller/emailer to Fox & Friends a few weeks ago said: "The last movie I saw was Patton and the next movie I'll see will be Son of Patton." Absolutely perfect!

So when did Patton say "We're going to use their intestines to grease our tank treads." That's my favorite, perhaps it's just from the movie.
