Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. — George S. Patton · 1969Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get out hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops, depending on the breaks. — Gen. 'Buck' Turgidson · 1964Now, an army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. — General George S. Patton · 1969Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

Patton · 1969I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that.

Patton · 1969Now, there's one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home and you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now, when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee and he asks you, "What did you do in the great World War II?" you won't have to say, "Well...I shoveled shit in Louisiana." — General George S.
