And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

They don't make movies like this anymore. What a great scene.
As a US Marine Vietnam tank commander veteran who fought in an M-48 "Patton" medium tank, Gen. Patton is a huge hero figure to me. He was a highly successful and forthright leader of men.
Today's "woke" weenies would say that he was a mean, nasty person. Kind of like how they view Mr. Trump.
very well said. Gen George Patton was one of my Hero's among with many others.
ReplyDeleteA great movie, should have accepted the Oscar, he was brilliant.
ReplyDeletePreferred him in Dr Strangelove…

The world in which he developed is long gone. Damn shame.
ReplyDeleteLeaders of that caliber would be shunned today, damn shame. .
