I would never have been able to curse to the standard established by the 26th Colonel (IIRC) of the 2d United States Cavalry Regiment. (You're not getting my spurs back, however.)
I doubt seriously any of us could come close to the Stature of the Greatest Armored Commander to ever hold the position! Col Patton was one of a kind, and likely if he had lived, and the damn doves listened to him, would have prevented the cold war!
I like the fact the Patton family fought any attempt to portray him as anything but a Warrior of the United States of America, and gave their blessing once they saw the movie!
Any doubts that if the movie had been done in current circumstances, especially given Coppola was involved, it would be some anti war left wing piece of propaganda?
I thought not!
ESAD, DUmmies!
ETA:
I have ivory,
(imitation of course) mother of pearl oyster shell, handles, on my .44 for the simple reason Patton had them on
his Colt! It's speaks of CLASS and one's respect for firearms!
