"the very idea of losing is hateful to an American"

Well, it used to be, anyway.

If General Patton were alive today he would vomit on the very political leaders we now have that are taking our country toward the very thing he defeated.

Interestingly, Rommel was an infantry officer who only began to lead armored units late in his career. His first book was about infantry in the attack.

I've read Patton's speech many times before but it's actually been a while since I last read it.

He was a true American hero!

Thanks for posting.

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..
