Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

Damn fine speech. ‘Ol “Blood and Guts” is indeed alive and well in this vid. No doubt after readings his BIO and listening to some of his speeches, he might have presented just such a foreceful argument.
My favorite Patton whiticism: “I’d rather have the Germans in front of me, than the French behind me.”
He scared the shit out of the Germans. What general do we have that has the same effect on our enemies?
Nice post Pat. I can never hear enough of George C.
July 20th, 2007 at 12:49 pmWhat an awesome video! I just wished we had a Patton right now.
July 20th, 2007 at 1:00 pmHow sweet it is. No ass kissing, just telling it like it is. Where are the great leaders? Are there any left? Out side of the military of course…
July 20th, 2007 at 1:00 pmeerily familiar…
July 20th, 2007 at 1:02 pmKill the enemy, this is the answer!
July 20th, 2007 at 1:04 pmWow that was an awesome speech! not to mention how they made it seem like Patton was saying it. I especially loved the part about how America loves a winner, you bet your ass we do. Thats why we need to back our winning team overseas and get the word to our “leadership” in the congress to stand down and let them finish their mission. Period!
July 20th, 2007 at 1:21 pmBrilliant.

Most of them are already busy in their business keep companies and our economy together. As for politics and the media, well, that’s our soft and gooey outer shell. Unfortunately, it makes our enemies always want to take a bite into it. What they usually end up doing in the end is breaking their teeth off when the get to the solid granite center. I believe many of our future leaders are currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. When they return from duty they’ll have plenty of work here.
July 20th, 2007 at 2:21 pmSimply AWESOME! We have to shake this disease called political correctness and call things for what they are.
Thanks, Pat. This made my day.
July 20th, 2007 at 3:09 pmOur troops serving in this war are the greatest generation. I agree, they will come home to be our future leaders. General Petraeus for President!
July 20th, 2007 at 3:13 pmThis is the very least we owe the people we’ve asked to go to war.
July 20th, 2007 at 3:39 pmPretty cool-sounds like him even. I wish we had decisive leaders around today.
July 20th, 2007 at 4:56 pmWe really need a Patton today. This was a great video.
July 20th, 2007 at 5:24 pmI agree that we will see knowlegable warriors that come out of Iraq and Afghanistan that will come forward and lead this country back to what it is capable of being. United, strong, and forever free. They will have everything necessary to lead and their wisdom will have been forged in the fire of battle. They know the real deal. (Unlike the idiots like Pelosi and Reid that the Dems worship. Just hearing their names make me sick.)
That was a great video. Thanks Pat.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:38 pmHooray for teenage hormones!!
July 20th, 2007 at 8:22 pmawesome, just awesome
July 21st, 2007 at 5:19 amWow, what an incredible clip!
Everyone makes really good points. Really good leaders are truly rare - Patton was one, as were Churchill, Reagan, and Thatcher.
Personally, I can’t wait to see who will be the next big “movement conservative” leader.
July 21st, 2007 at 7:20 amA great video. And, my message to some posters:
A leader gets to be a great leader because great numbers of people choose to follow him. President Bush has been steadfast throughout this campaign. If you abandon him because his enemies are strong, if you dump on him because he has presumably not made it easy for you to follow him, it is not he who is to blame for failing to have the intestinal fortitude to see the fight through.

Good comments. Of President Bush I agree with TR:
“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. ”
- Teddy Roosevelt
July 21st, 2007 at 10:24 amthanks, Pat. this made my day too.
hey gorgeous marine I met last tuesday in pasadena, where are you? if you’re reading this, drop me a line
July 21st, 2007 at 10:53 amThis video you made is so awesome. Can you send a copy of it to each member of congress? and maybe to each of the drive-by media outlets? I’m a military wife and mother. This is awesome. Thank you!
July 22nd, 2007 at 2:27 amGreat editing work too!

Right on. I also think this one from TR is particularly apropos:
“It is not the critic who counts: not
the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles or where the
doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood,
who strives valiantly, who errs and
comes up short again and again,
because there is no effort without
error or shortcoming, but who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great
devotions, who spends himself
for a worthy cause; who, at the best,
knows, in the end, the triumph of high
achievement, and who, at the worst,
if he fails, at least he fails while
daring greatly, so that his place
shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who knew neither victory
nor defeat.”

Thanks dude. That’s the quote that I was actually looking for. TR was the greatest. Hey, but what else should one expect from a family that has three Medal of Honor winners in it?
July 22nd, 2007 at 8:52 amWhat a tremendous video !!!! My Dad and 3 Uncles served in WWII and they would be sooooo proud to see this video
of the Great General speaking about the “War on Terror”.
Also , my Father-in-Law flew 35 missions over Germany with the “Mighty Eight Airforce” out of England -
God Bless Our Brave Troops and God have mercy on the
cowardly politicians who are against protecting our country.
God Bless America

Brilliant! The world could use another Gen Patton…
Does anyone know where we can see the actual script to this?? Thanks in advance!
