Patton

[Meat Grinder]

You Europeans have your favorite generals. We in the USA have Patton.

Hollywood version. ;-)

I love that clip. Not only is Patton my hero but the clip is narrated by none other than future President Ronald Reagan. And we all know that he was the greatest President in the history of the US of A. (Spinning my head to see if Numbers is going to wack me....) Greatest General and greatest President. Who woulda thunk it.

How the rest of world viewed Reagan

Heh. Well I wouldn't say Reagan was the greatest president ever, but he was probably the best one in my lifetime (since 1966). LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama. Not a lot of competition there.....

He deserved a nap after the wall finally fell.

Wouldn't get away with saying some of that these days.

I dunno. Trump seems to say whatever the hell he wants to. ;-)

 

[Nathangun]

Will Trump become a respected statesman? Hardly.

 

[Meat Grinder]

You have a point there.

I think George C. Scott was a better Patton...than Patton. :kilroy:

If he is elected, and I don't think he will, you wouldn't believe how much international goodwill and diplomatic influence the USA would lose. Particularly if he acts the same when he takes office.

Apparently he refused an Oscar award for playing Patton because he believed Patton a nut. I may be wrong.
