Looks like a “Magnificent Bastard” doesn’t he?

The magnificent bastard was Rommel. Rommel was also a great general and greatly respected by the Allies as Patton was respected greatly by the Axis.
Sometimes FreeRepublic NEEDS a “Like” Button!
I AGREE!
Works for me.
Oh, and the next BOOM you hear are the heads exploding at DoD.
Absolutely a magnificent looking bastard!
In a criticism of the administration’s social engineering policies in the military, such as allowing gays to serve openly and planning to integrate women into combat roles, the retired Marine issued a warning.In other words....he's opposed to the distraction of perverts in the U.S. MIlitary
“No matter how laudable in terms of a progressive country’s instincts, this committee needs to consider carefully any proposed changes to military rules, traditions and standards that bring non-combat emphasis to combat units,” he said.

“Mad Dog” quotes ~ I LOVE this man!
I got into a UH-1 once back in the 70's. The right seat pilot had "Mad Dog" on the back of his helmet. The left seat guy had "Xin Loi Charlie" and a drawing of Charlie the Star-kist tuna on his.
They were totally nuts. The skids were hitting trees as we were flying NOE. I was looking straight down at times, holding onto my rifle and hoping the seat straps held.
Go, Trump, GO!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
General Patton believed in reincarnation. You don’t imagine that just maybe............?????????????????????????
OUTSTANDING! I couldn’t be happier with this.
I’m not sure this is accurate yet. Jason Miller is on twitter saying no decision has been made.

Rolling back military personnel rules 50 years would be a start.
Restaffing the USJCoS next.
I wonder what happens to all that sensitivity training for troops? L.O.L.!!
Mattis is high quality. He is another Eisenhower.
I say that to myself at least once a thread
OK, now you’ve got me going. I’ve got “Patton” on DVR and am going to have to watch it again now.
Wow, we’re actually going to attack ISIS with the intention to destroy them?
The gifts just keep on coming!
I thank God for His mercy; for PEOTUS Donald Trump and for the fact that for the first time in a very long time the grownups are back in charge of the White House and the country. Thank you Lord Jesus!
