"Of all the many talks I had in Washington, none gave me such pleasure as that with you. There were two reasons for this. In the first place, you are about my oldest friend. In the second place, your self-assurance and to me, at least, demonstrated ability, give me a great feeling of confidence about the future
and I have the utmost confidence that through your efforts we will eventually beat the hell out of those bastards "You name them; I'll shoot them!"
~George S. Patton
Letter to Dwight D. Eisenhower (1942)

Americans play to win at all times. I wouldn't give a hoot and hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor ever lose a war. - George S. Patton
