can you imagine tom d'@$$hole as a general?
'now listen to me men & women, i want you to be as kind & gentle to the germanic persons ('kraut' being a no-no), and with your 'safe' bullets we hope to dissuade many from death and crippling injury. after all, they are as human as you and i and also have chilllllll-dren and families.
we are a TEAM and i will be right behind you along with the UN/ACLU to make sure there is no misconduct on our part. we must advance as slowly as possible so that the persons ('enemy' is a no-no) will have time to escape and maybe change their minds and come to our side. negotiations will be the order of the day. if you come upon one of their patrols, please don't behave rashly and start trouble. try a friendly hello, or offer them candy or rations (cigarettes are a no-no). sometimes even a drink of water will pacify the most hardened of soldiers. i am sure many will understand that we too are a peace loving people. after it's all over we will all return to our homes, jobs, and families. i myself hope to run for the presidency in order to keep mr. roosevelt's dream alive. i promise i will give you all free housing, food and clothing. with 'our' great wealth we will be able to feed, clothe and house the ENTIRE WORLD!!!!
now let us march on to victory, (and please try not to trample the daisies in the forest meadows). oh, and by the way, that miscreant general patton will be court martialed for daring to strike another soldier. family members of the soldier have filed a class action lawsuit against the army and i personally will see to them that justice is done and he is brought down and thrown in the stockade. we WILL NOT TOLERATE VIOLENCE against another person in this army'!
please come back general patton!
