The Patton and Schwarzkopf quotes are both misattributed. Patton never said the line about having a French division behind him, and the line about going deer hunting without an accordion was said by one of Rumsfeld's aides.

Actually, the line about deer hunting with an accordion was uttered by a gentleman by the name of Jed Babbit (or something like that). He was an Undersecretary of Defense under Bush Sr.
