    Patton saved my Dad. He was a POW in Germany and unknown to him his medic was Patton's son in law. Patton sent his army right to the POW camp to rescue his son in law. My Dad was standing in door when Patton drove up. Patton asked my Dad how he was doing, My Dad said"better now that you are here general"

      My dad had a lot of encounters with general Patton between 1939 and 1945. My dad joined the army when he was 17 and 1939 by 1942 he was in the E7. Pretty outrageous by today's standards but the army went from a quarter million men to over a million men in the space of a couple years. If you're a good soldier you got rank. In 1942 my dad was 20 years old and he looked like he was 16. He is a lean mean fighting machine in any case.

      @@ninline2000 what instills pride in a unit of men is discipline. Who has to give them discipline leadership. Who did they hate leadership. Why do they hate leadership because they force discipline! That's why Patton wanted his man to have their shoes shined, clean uniforms, properly worn uniforms, ties and don't forget your helmet! Start looking like a soldier you start to act like a soldier and then you surprisingly become one! Yeah I would have cursed him but at the same time I would have had a hell of a lot of respect for him and a lot of love for him. He took good care of his men as best he could in the situations he was faced with. My dad served in his units from 1939 till 1945. Sometimes he said he was a son of a bitch and he would smile.

      My dad was second armored but he was transferred to 6th armored to form the cadre of the new division just before Operation torch. My dad was pretty busy with the military and then his civilian career. The only movie that my dad took me to with no one else was the movie Patton. Dad loved that movie. He would watch it whenever it came on TV after that. I got it on VHS for him. And then when DVDs came out I set up a DVD in front of his TV and got him the DVD so he can watch it on DVD. I always thought my dad should write down his experiences and his stories. He had wonderful stories and some pretty sad ones as well. But he never wanted to. He's been gone 20 years now. I guess I'll just have to scrape the cobwebs off My Brain and do it for him. Maybe throw a few of my mom's stories in from the Battle of Britain. My mom was a nurse in London during the blitz.

    "An army is like a cooked piece of spaghetti. It must be drug along behind you, it cannot be pushed ahead"
    I always remembered that quote throughout all 21 years of my service. I always tried to live by that ideal. When I retired in 2010, I reminded all of my troops of that quote as I was leaving. I only hope at least one of them carries it along today.

    One of the best Patton stories is that General Eisenhower believed Patton too undisciplined (independent) to lead the Allied invasion of Normandy. Nazi military leaders, however, considered him the Allies’ best commander and expected he would lead a cross-channel invasion. As part of the elaborate disinformation campaign leading up to D-Day, Patton was placed in charge of a phantom army, complete with plywood aircraft and inflatable rubber tanks, in southeast England to make it appear he would strike at the channel’s narrowest point at Pas de Calais, France. Even weeks after D-Day, the Germans continued to amass troops at Pas de Calais expecting that Patton would still come ashore there.
    Legend has it, they continue to be nervous he may still invade. lolol

    I absolutely love my country, and especially our military men. I've met a lot of incredible veterans, both men and women, who served in every war since WWII. Several of them were legitimate war heroes, some of them very high ranking. One was a General. He was in his late 80s when I met him, but he kept an amazingly dry sense of humor and his pride until the day he died. Even when he was, for all intents and purposes, wheelchair bound, he would force his body to stand during the pledge of allegiance and when the National Anthem played.
    A lot of people have an idea of what they think military people are like, but I'll tell you they're some of the best, most supportive people in the world. I've never a met a military veteran who has thought something "can't" be done, and they don't really let you get away with thinking like that either. If you say you want to do something, they'll tell you to go do it - and they won't listen to any reasons you might come up with about why you "can't". Every single one I've ever met have told me that if you want something bad enough you'll get it. They're the type of people who change how you look at life, and what you think you can do. I would highly recommend every person spend some time with our veterans before the chance to get to know them is gone. It's a priceless opportunity that won't always be there.

The video clips are from about every war movie ever. It is a great rainy Saturday movie, as it is about as long as Lawrence of Arabia.

    this is an actual speech of gen george s patton, but it's from the wwii movie "patton" starring the actor george c scott. i'm an american woman who saw this in the theater with a group of friends when it first came out. the theater was full of yells, cheers, clapping, and such during the entirety of the speech. if you have a chance, you should watch the movie in it's entirely. i think you'd really enjoy it. following are a couple of notes. the louisiana remark refers to ft polk, where they had been stationed and which was built on what had been a cow pasture. he was in charge of the 3rd army div that plowed through the germans and brought relief to the airborn div trapped at bastogne in the battle of the bulge. finally, at one pt he was in a hosp visiting heros who'd been injured in combat and he found out that a couple of men who were there were being what he felt was coddled because they had "combat fatigue", he got furious! they were in the midst of heros who'd had limbs blown off and such, and in his his anger he slapped those man/men. as punishment for that, he/his div were not allowed to participate in what they should have d-day and some other important things later. makes sense that he shouldn't go around slapping privates or whatever, but he was such a brilliant gen, really never losing, and it was pretty stupid and made for much greater loss of allied lives to "punish him" by putting montgomery in charge of some stuff that should have gone to patton (and monty really, really fu*ked it all up royally).

    This was the speech at the beginning of the movie from 1970 "Patton", starring George C. Scott. I watch this movie at least 4 times a year. I have also been to Luxembourg where Patton is buried with his 3rd Army. I have always been of the opinion that they should have never taken his position from him. He had the right idea and wasn't afraid of being "politically incorrect". A lot of the rest of the clips you saw were all from movies made about the wars. If you have never seen that movie, please watch. He was one of the greatest Generals we ever had.

One reporter approached a dark, sullen figure in the corner polishing his rifle with obsession. "What do you do, sir?" the reporter asked. "I'm a travel agent" the mysterious man replied not looking up, still polishing his rifle with vigor. "You don't look much like a travel agent".

    That is George C Scott from the movie "Patton." I'm not sure if that it was an actual speech. Patton was the General of the 1st Armor Division. They are the one that when the 101st Airborne division was surrounded at Bastogne, and had saying "Nuts" to the German leader asking for their surrender. When Patton heard that he was 107 miles away and had been told to hold. That's where the whole bit about holding came from. Literally turned Left and made an end run all the way up and attacked the Germans from the rear and saved the 101st.
