    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    General Patton (George C. Scott) commissions a weather prayer from the Third Army chaplain before engaging in the Battle of the Bulge.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    In 1943 North Africa, George Patton (George C. Scott) assumes command of (and instills some much-needed discipline in) the American forces. Engaged in battle against Germany's Field Marshal Rommel (Karl Michael Vogler), Patton drives back "The Desert Fox" by using the German's own tactics. Promoted to Lieutenant General, Patton is sent to Sicily, where he engages in a personal war of egos with British Field Marshal Montgomery (Michael Bates). Performing brilliantly in Italy, Patton seriously jeopardizes his future with a single slap. While touring an Army hospital, the General comes across a GI (Tim Considine) suffering from nervous fatigue. Incensed by what he considers a slacker, Patton smacks the poor soldier and orders him to get well in a hurry. This incident results in his losing his command-and, by extension, missing out on D-Day. In his final campaign, Patton leads the US 3rd Army through Europe. Unabashedly flamboyant, Patton remains a valuable resource, but ultimately proves too much of a "loose cannon" in comparison to the more level-headed tactics of his old friend Omar Bradley (Karl Malden). Patton won 7 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Scott, an award that he refused.

    Rt. Rev. Msgr. James Hugh O'Neill (January 14, 1892 - April 17, 1972) was an American Catholic priest who served as a chaplain in the United States Army from 1926 to 1952, rising to the rank of brigadier general. While serving as chaplain of the Third United States Army during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, he composed the famous "Weather Prayer" at the request of the Third Army's commander, General George S. Patton.

      That someone prayed for something and then it happened to happen does not serve as proof that the prayer worked; there has never been any proof or scientific evidence that prayer - pretending to talk to someone who isn't there - accomplishes anything.
      Not knowing the answer to a question, or being able to explain why something happened, does not serve as proof or evidence of anything except that the answer or explanation is not yet known, and certainly does not serve as proof for the existence of any supernatural being or of such a being's intervention.

      How did Gen. Patton or the Chaplain know that God had changed the weather because a prayer had been offerred to hin tio do that?
      Not knowing the answer to a question does not serve as proof of anything, except that the answer is not yet known, and certainly does not serves as proof for the existence of any supernatural being or the abiliuty of such a being to do anything.
      How disgracefully ignorant that men serving in our forces as chaplains ever "recieved medals or decorations" for no other reason than that they, and the men they served with, had been indoctrinated to believe that chaplains somehow had the ability to talk to someone who wasn't there who would in turn cause anything to happen.

      @@Merlinever They didn't know. It didn't matter. Prayer is a source of hope for people who have faith, and when things go the way they wanted them to it gives them more hope--when things don't, most people don't blame their god or gods so it doesn't make them lose any more hope than they would have, otherwise. In this case, I'd say the chaplain earned his Bronze Star because he wrote a powerful message, and the fact that its timing coincided with better weather was of great value to the morale not only of the soldiers but to the civilians who read about it in the newspapers. While I'm sure the morale boost to soldiers fighting in the cold without rest for days was small, it was still worth it--you take what you can get.
      The point being: religion is a source of hope for a lot of people. It's also the source of endless suffering and hatred. Two sides of the same coin. Stick to criticizing the latter: when you go off on people for their faith when it's an inspiring and uplifting tale, you just look like a contrarian jackass.
