      All these people who are probably the same couple of people on different accounts talkin all that Nazi trash on this comment section should listen to the satisfaction in George Patton's voice when he speaks of leaving their little coward towns in rubble. LOL. Contrary to the movie, the fascist dictatorship, and their Church that took over this country, Patton hated Nazis. And Had to zero respect for their ways.

I can cite things if you would wish, he is very open about his hatred for Jews in personal letters. This is is a result of his marrying into a very wealthy that perpetuated his aristocratic point of view, as he truly was an American aristocratic. I have been enthralled with patton and find him to be a brilliant man and I’m glad he rose to prominence but those claims are more or less true. Although he claimed not to be a aware of the two atrocities committed, they were done under his command.

      It is important for a War to be assessed as Just - BEFORE engaging!!!
      Theologically, it IS just to "hate" enemy combatants...or it would be impossible to prevail over the enemy!. Yes, at the end of ones life, Almighty God will judge each individually - that is His right and duty. However,
      the warriors moral duty is to defeat the declared enemy....if in a Just War. If the War is NOT assessed as Just...and/or not a declared war - that is a different situation: one best to oppose/avoid.
      Given how obscure real causes of wars have been in the past century - and how effective propaganda has been in shaping the perceptions of events that did or did not occur over the past century - ( WHY American and British ships were sunk, -- Where, When, and by Whom) it is become almost impossible to know if a war is just.
      What we do now know, however: all prospective enlistees - and draftees - do better to avoid Governmental injections "for the sake of health". Most Governmental Bureaucrats have proven themselves untrustworthy.

    For those who don't know, both Patton and Doolittle were native Angelenos. Patton's mother was descended from William Wolfskill (great name), a fur trapper who was one of the first Americans to settle in Southern California, become a Catholic and intermarry into a local family. There was a class at, I think, Los Angeles High known as "The Class the Stars Fell On" because of the number of generals and admirals in WWII who graduated at the same time. I believe Doittle was a member of this class.

      War is not about winning it's about making money for the elites. Read General Smedley Butler's book War is a Racket.
      Also, we didn't win WWII, the Russians did. They took on the bulk of the German Army and lost 20 million people, all while modernizing their industry in order to fight the war.

    General Patton was a pure warrior’s warrior, born for the tactical, operational, and strategic fight, and without a hint of trepidation in charging toward the sound of the guns. He was gruff, irascible, and forthright in his assessments of those above and below him. He was also a genius on the battlefield and a thorn in the side of those who fought against him. General James Mattis has a similar streak.

    When my grandfather was one of the many fighting back the Nazis in Northern Africa (DAK), Patton passed through and stayed at his camp's officer's quarters. One night my Grandfather was walking through the hallways and witnessed two drunk soldiers fooling around who decided to go to Patton's room. Now, Patton was known for putting his boots, helmet, and swagger stick just outside his door as he slept. One of these two drunk guys thought it would be funny to take them and parade around pretending to be the general. The other guy laughed as this dummy stomped around in a mocking fashion.
    Then the door to Patton's room opened.
    The two men freaked out as the general walked out of his room in his robe. They fell in line and Patton approached the one who had his gear on.
    "Son, are those my things?" Patton calmly asks.
    "Y...y..yes sir."
    "Could you kindly take them off and put them back where you found them?"
    He put the items back as neatly as he could and proceeded to stand back at attention. As Patton turned to see that his things were indeed back where he put them, he pulled his own arm back, made a fist, and punched the drunk fool square in the face who then fell down in a crumpled heap. Then he turned to the other drunk:
    "When your lady friend wakes up, tell him not to take things that don't belong to him."
    He Patton casually turned around and went back into his room and shut the door, and my grandfather - who saw the whole thing - had a story to tell his grandchildren.

    Major General Eberhard Rodt of 15th Panzergrenadier Division against Patton’s troops during the Allied push toward Messina, thought the American 7th Army fought hesitantly and predictably: “The enemy very often conducted his movements systematically, and only attacked after a heavy artillery preparation when he believed he had broken our resistance. This kept him regularly from exploiting the weakness of our situation and gave me the opportunity to consolidate dangerous situations.”

    Gen. Patton didn't die of an "automobile accident".
    He was assassinated in a U.S. hospital following the 'accident' by a combined effort of the the Russians and our own government.
    Immediately after his death, all the hospital records olf his injuries, treatment and condition vanished without a trace and no investigation was ever undertaken.
    Someone wrote a book about this but I can't remember the author or the title.
    However, it would be worth while to look it up and read it.

    A talented and inspirational leader, no doubt, but also misguided. War is neither “the supreme struggle” nor “the highest test” of a man. It is, rather, a sign we have failed. Far more challenging is the struggle to be compassionate and to love those who hate you. Ask the man symbolized by all those crosses in the fields of battle. Those brave and selfless souls who lie beneath those crosses would surely wish their sacrifice had not been required. RIP.
