From the known transcriptions I've read of this speech, they don't make any mention of the line "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country..." Did Patton actually use this or is it something made up for the film in the spirit of Patton?

[jellisrellish]

@TheMG63 im almost sure he actually said it, this speech is just a combination of many other speeches, i'm pretty sure that almost everything he said in the movie speech was said in one of them.

He would be so disappointed with the modern Army

[jellisrellish]

@hellsummon id definately agree.

[sniperRobert]

does he have the Medal of Honor on his neck?

[jellisrellish]

@sniperRobert its one of these medals: Distinguished Service Cross with one oak leaf cluster Distinguished Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters Silver Star with one oak leaf cluster Legion of Merit Bronze Star Medal Purple Heart Silver Lifesaving Medal Mexican Service Medal World War I Victory Medal with five battle clasps European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with one silver and two bronze service stars American Defense Service Medal World War II Victory Medal

If Patton had never died in that jeep accident we would not be where we are at today. Patton would have made sure that wimp Truman never got his first term. He also would have made sure we had never lost in Korea or Nam(more then likely would have agreed with nuking China when McArthur suggested it)

[Vetzero]

No, he never got one of those.

Patton was who he was. Really awfully hard to fight for and with. He exacted a great deal from his men but, in turn and in due time earned the respect of just about everyone who served in his 3rd US Army. One such soldier was a Corporal of Artillery, my stepfather, Edward Frank Hurst who made it back home to his wife Maxine and lived to the age of 58. I believe that these days and times the U.S. and our Army needs a modern day version of him.

I'm a red american bastard and am ready willing and able to let the next tea-bagging bastard to die for his country before i ever will. Fuck all of you! Fuck you little boys playing war with your m16s.

[rifleman1002]

@A10fighter95 For the North Vietnamese.

[A10fighter95]

@rifleman1002 It was a military victory

[KAIROA]

@TheMG63 Is a very well known fact that Gral Patton has a foul mouth. Everybody who read the history, knows it.

Patton was a great general, very patriotic man, he was used, by people who knows how to mannipulate the humans been. Eisenhower and him contradict each other, in account of prisoners of war.

Patton let them loose, Eisenhower put them in a concentration camps.

[DTFProphet]

@rifleman1002 America lost Vietnam because Patton wasn't there...

[hellsummon]

@TheManInUniform Nope, I served my country. Proudly and bravely...man would make a great Marine and he would be disgusted at the lack of good order and discipline in today's Army

[TheManInUniform]

@hellsummon and he would be disappointed of you too.
