"All that the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should be preserved, and that the government, as originally organized, should be administered in purity and truth." – Robert E. Lee
"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored."
Every time I think of Patton, my mind sees a picture of the actor George C Scott.

Me too. That's why this photo was so revealing. Patton without a helmet and olive drab blouse.

A friend of mine says there is a conspiracy theory that the government had Patton killed and not a jeep wreck. Anyone ever hear of that?
As I recall the rumors circulated around Patton going to drop the hammer on some high brass over gold that was supposedly stolen by them from European banks that were “liberated” on the way to Berlin and in Berlin.
The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.
What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.
Happily Trapped In the Past (Thanks, Joe)
Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
