I prefer the Patton* version, “it’s a good day for the enemy b******s to die!”

*There is no hint of evidence that General Patton ever said this, but it sounds like something he would have said.

From the movie “Patton”:

“No SOB ever wins a war by dying for his country. He wins the war by the making the dumb SOB he’s fighting against die for his country.”

sure does sound like something he'd say....did you see the picture some freeper posted of Patton peeing in the Rhine river during WW2? Its something of military tradition when taking over enemy country to being in their river....was posted when all the SHTF last week about our boys doing the same on an enemy.

But like Col. West said, if you have never been in a war S U. But did think they should have been made to apologize to God and their fellow marines, but war is Hell, if you have not been there, don't judge these marines...

I agree, shit happens after a battle. They didn't cut off any body parts like the enemy does..
