This is the "Generals' March" by Jerry Goldsmith, combining "MacArthur" and "Patton."

[MisterNifty]

The greatest marching song ever portraying George C. Scott who performed the greatest acting portrayal ever playing the greatest general ever! Yes, the stars do tend to align up from time to time!

@TheGroundedAviator Haha oh I know it was overinflated haha that much is crystal clear haha and fair enough lol good day my friend.

[TheGroundedAviator]

@TheGroundedAviator I just called him a psycho. And about the other thing, I agree it was a fuck up (heck he didn't even plan it all, a guy named Browning did and had yet too make a name, he was trying so hard he didn't belive in tanks or soft grond around a raised two lane road), but he was pushing too far foward and it would've been the same in a way. Look we both have a point and it's inbetween them... You never knew him and only read about him as I and I don't trust films

[TheGroundedAviator]

@WisdomOfATeenager True but his lines were streched and had BIG flanks on both sides with Panzers who knew what they were doing (unlike 1940 when it was a new war, well for the guys at the front, it was a British theory). His so called rivelry with Monty is overinflated, Monty respected his front line tatical skills (he was a stragty man, know the difference?), it would've no different too Market Garden, another flop and I'd rather not get into it too much..

@TheGroundedAviator Haha he only went too far to catch up with supply because he was fighting his own boss Ike for fuel he was low on fuel and would lie exposed and lose many men he was promised fuel but because he attained so much fame and glory the other generals under the allies became jealous and wanted a bigger peice of the action so ike (probbly getting back for disobeying him) gave the fuel to monty and bradly and as an added punishment kept him out of themain part of the d day invasion.

[TheGroundedAviator]

@WisdomOfATeenager Monty for the record admired him for his tatical (ritght there and then in the field) skills which were first rate, Patton's weakness was his strategic skills in the sense that he pushed too far into France too keep up with supply, had he did he would've kept going non-stop but it gave others a change of view. Rommel had the same fault and plenty of leader could inspire, though only a Yank would from a slapper! An ANZAC would've killed him!

[TheGroundedAviator]

@WisdomOfATeenager Plenty of others did as well in other less "glorious" encounters. Any fool would do what he did on Scilly, had that "slowpoke" pommy snob (he wasn't as slow as some say he was) Monty had been there he would've been in his shoes. The Bulge was a "great" battle but he never fought against a solid front, ok best too avoid them! And by the time he got too the Bulge the Germens were low on fuel.

[TheGroundedAviator]

@WisdomOfATeenager True.

[WisdomOfATeenager]

@BobDeegstheGreat But u must remember tho patton was a prima donna he only fired one general under his command durring the war while bradly sacked numorous generals for various reasons.

[WisdomOfATeenager]

@TheGroundedAviator and weary men to fight on a little longe he alone instilled the confidence into his men and did what was right, not what polotics demanded that is why he disobeyed his superrior commanders and cut through scicily beating the british to the punch and thus saving lives by taking less time and loosing less men through sheer hard work and and determination. An ounce of sweat saves a gallon of blood.

[WisdomOfATeenager]

@TheGroundedAviator That is because he knew when to strike and used his resources to his advantage. aIn the battle of the bulge we may have had the advantage of having more man power, but the Germans had hundreds more tanks versus our medium tanks and they had over a thousand more artillery guns. Patton knew how to punch threw his enemy he in fact figured out how to destroy the german panzer tanks . He alone had the determination to take his enemy and the ability to inspire his tired
