Maybe the White House should roll out "Old Blood and Guts" the next time it tries to explain why the U.S. is fighting in Iraq.
A video posted on YouTube features the well-known scene from the movie "Patton," with George C. Scott standing in front of an enormous American flag.
This time, however, the famous World War II general isn't urging his troops to defeat the Nazis on the eve of the Allied invasion of France — this version features the voice of comedian Mike Kaminski delivering a Patton-like explanation of why the U.S. is fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, against Al Qaeda, and the danger posed by an Iran possessing nuclear weapons.

It could have been done without misusing the Lord’s name for sure however.

You never heard of a Holy WAR? were in one right now therefore the Lords name was properly invoked~~!
And Gen Patton is now in command of a rampart in heaven in because of the motivational power of his salty language.
