That clip seemed to go over really well. Too bad it was Scott acting like Patton, but the portrayal was spot on and the comparison with Milley way perfect.

That scene softened the language a bit. Patton didn't say "Fornicating".

I think the other pertinent scene in the Patton movie, is the one where Patton is talking to the reporters, and when Patton says he’s going to Malta, a smarmy reporter asks him, “Will you be slapping any soldiers over there, General?”

I don’t know how Patton didn’t just shoot that son-of-a-bitch right there.

Say what you will about George C Scott......He was a wonderful actor and captured Patton’s persona perfectly.
