General PATTON is, in my opinion, the greatest American to have worn the uniform of the United States military. I've read a lot about him, and have spoken with many who served with him. It seems that he had an uncanny ability to understand his soldiers, and knew instinctively how to destroy the enemy. I have read that the German High Command in WWII feared him the most. My only wish is that we had him amongst us today.

He was the real deal.

I totally agree. We need another one just like him. Maybe the next generation will produce one.

I feel strongly that, amongst this current fighting generation, there sleeps tonite the next George Patton. Beside his Abrams Tank, just barely asleep just in case the Bad Guys get past the sentries, and as a result of his dreams of derring-do at the direct expense of the Enemy.

He will have a sewer mouth that should never kiss his Mom unless he scrubs out with Listerine. And a burning passion for America. And a contempt for the contemptible Enemy that they have well-earned.

This current generation of fighting men and women are doing a good job. And somewhere out there Patrols the man to whom Patton has thrown the torch, and for whom Greatness awaits. We shall soon hear of this soldier’s exploits, and marvel...
