Sigh. Sorry, guys, I'm back. Found a web site with Patton quotes, including the one I was thinking about with the Russians:
"Give me 10 days and I'll start a war with those God****ed Reds and make it look like their fault. Then we can push the motherf****** back into Moscow where they belong!"
- probably not as appropriate as I was thinking! But the rest are timeless.
"The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."
“Good tactics can save even the worst strategy. Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy.”
“I am a soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.”
“In case of doubt, attack.”
“Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way. ”
"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't.”
“Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.”
"Attack rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, without rest. However tired and hungry you may be, the enemy will be more tired, more hungry. Keep punching."
"In war the only sure defense is offense, and the efficiency of the offense depends on the warlike souls of those conducting it."
"Nobody ever defended anything successfully. There is only attack and attack and attack some more."
"Lack of orders is no excuse for inaction."
"There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change; it is, 'To use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wounds, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.' "
Really now, Robert, are these a total snore?
