Yeah, Patton had some brass ones.

"Always do everything you ask of those you command." -- George S. Patton

Gol, Vinth, that strategy sure as hell would shut you out of command. I don't know, but I don't think Patton would haave let a 'condition of hives' keep him out of the army, no matter what a bunch of sissy ass Doctors said. He'd have found a way around it, don't you think?

"Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack."
Patton

"Bigotry and prejudice is in our county, and it will be until the end of time. That's called life."
-Vinth

and here's one that stands alone:

"Magnificent! Compared to war all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God help me, I do love it so!"
-Patton.

All other forms of endeavour? Huh. I think that's kind of makes him a loony. But hell, that's just my take.
