"No one but a god damn pimp from a New Orleans whore house would carry pearl handle pistols. My pistols are Ivory Sir".

Patton was a true ass kicking hell raiser of a General. I bet the Army could use him right now to stand up against the chicekenhawak BFEE bastards!

| 4. OMG...listening now... A real "Kick Ass" Bastard, imho! |
|
:D But, he makes the case that Chimp is a LOSER! For all his "Bravado" he didn't achieve what Patton says America Loves: "A WINNER!"
Bush is NO WINNER...;-) Can you see Kimmet as Patton? ROFL....
But...Patton the movie is still a good watch! in these times...where we want to know what our "Generals are up to."

Patton is actually standing in the mud directing a convey, in lain view of everyone. You'd think any of the current MBA type "Generals" would do that today? Hell no! It'd be some poor enlisted guy who doesn't know how to shave yet and fresh out of boot camp :grr:

Kimmet the Fog could hold Patton's jock! Even Patton's assistant had more common sense!

| 7. ROFLMGO....Kimmit is a "very pale" comparison to those "Generals" of |
|
old...Even Eisenhower...a much pale guy...makes Kimmit look..well...
Okay...back to the movie...;-)'s Yep, this current crop of "Generals over the Mercenary Contractors" are WIMPS...Halliburton meals..etc.
Why didn't Marriott get the contract? Food might have helped them look happier.
