Still Secure, Patton’s Christmas Day Fair Weather Prayer of ‘44
12-27-07
by Al Campbell
This article originally appeared in the Cape May County Herald on Dec. 20, 2006

http://www.generalpatton.com/prayer.html

“Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen.”

“To each officer and soldier in the Third United States Army, I wish a Merry Christmas. I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We march in our might to complete victory. May God’s blessings rest upon each of you on this Christmas Day.”

G.S. Patton, Jr., Lieutenant General
Commanding, Third United States Army.

Hussein has already made clear his contempt for Churchill.What do you wanna bet he has the very same level of contempt for Patton.

If General Patton were alive today he would not be granted a commission. He’d never make it past Political Correctness 101 or Rules of Engagement.

Hell..., he wouldn't make the admissions cut at the Point!!! "Far too insensitive,,,"

“This is from from General Alexander, sir, reminding you that you are not to take Palermo.”

Well what do they want us to do,give it back?

Actually in real life i believe it was some city in North Europe he was ordered not to take as he was making the British look bad with his advances..

Patton was not very impressed with politicians back then either.

I do not believe any evidence has been produced to show Rommmels involvement in the July 20th plot..
Hitler was paronoid and Rommel was a big hero to the German people,kinda like Stalin with his purges...

Everything from the keyword "dday" (including some which don't appear to belong, but I didn't investigate, and there are over 200 topics), chrono sort:

“the very idea of losing is hateful to an American”

Well, it used to be, anyway.


That’s because they understood the consequences of losing.
No one understands cause and effect anymore.
“It” can’t happen to them.

My pleasure! The other heavily duplicated topic that I re-read once in a while is the “One Hill, One Marine” piece about Guadalcanal. :’)

I have watched the movie Patton many times but this was the first time I had ever read the real Patton speech.

If we would have listen to Patton, we would not had a cold war, that spent most of our social security. Esinhower was the worst president prior to Nixon. He took over for the French with Vietnam, we all know how that went (politans ran that war as well and scewed that up. Funny they were running mates. Nixon and Esinhower! We would never had North Korea problems, and the racial muslems and China would have been to scared to start crap with the USA. We would have been the one world power we and only we could handle in a fair and just way. But we let the politians call the shots, now we see the mess we are in. Do not get me started on George W. Bush. As a G.I. I would have loved serving under Gen. Patton.
