General Patton Says…

Posted by Anthony on June 29, 2009

Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains that victory.

A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood.

Some goddamn fool once said that flanks have got to be secure. Since then sonofabitches all over the globe have been guarding their flanks. I don’t agree with that. My flanks are something for the enemy to worry about, not me. Before he finds out where my flanks are, I’ll be cutting the bastard’s throat.

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

Don’t fight a battle if you don’t gain anything by winning.

My men don’t dig foxholes. I don’t want them to. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. And don’t give the enemy time to dig one either.

An Army is a team. It lives, sleeps, eats, and fights as a team.

    Where are the Patton’s now when we need them. Our representatives or so poor they can’t tie their shoe laces. Just found a post that I’m not sure I answered asking if you could site stuff on my page. Absolutely, my apology for not getting back to you, Jim
