You never met a George Patton, a genius Gemeral that won many battles, but with a penchant for swearing. I fully support the increase in military spending and abhor most of the rest of the bill. There is no honor in being a rat-fink. Free speech is not always honored here, but it should be.

Part of free speech is the freedom others have to take exception "smiling turd" metaphors used in a forum frequented by women as well as men, as well as those who might be eating a meal while visiting FreeRepublic. Free speech doesn't mean the rest of us have to approvingly smile at your friend's crudity & crassness as justify it by referring to General Patton.

Patton knew the difference between speaking before fellow soldiers/warriors and speaking with the general public comprised of all ages and both genders. Evidently others do not.
