Excuse me but, that's awful. There is no excuse for language like that especially from a man claiming to read the Holy Bible. It does nothing for his character to use such language when talking about things of God. He's just a man and through the grace of God only I sure hope he made it to heaven.

Patton was a vulgar man. He was also cultured and educated.

I don't use that kind of language myself, but I am not going to presume to judge Patton on the basis of his cruder aspects, when he was so instrumental in the eradication of one of mankind's greatest evils.

No insult intended, but I am thinking: It's a military thing, you wouldn't understand.

Patton was phenomenal. I'd a followed him anywhere, regardless of his language. He thought clearly, his focus was on the mission, not the "nuance" or how he'd appear to others in public.
