George Patton Jr is not George Patton III

Not by a long shot. In fact nowhere close. And it is disengenious to say Patton
said it and then when challenged say, "Oh not that Patton". There is only ONE
PATTON.And another Patton can't be substituted for him. At least not to those
who fought in WW II.

Another OT posting from the fellow who despises OT posts...and no, there
have been quite a few George Patton's who attained some degree of military
fame. One graduated from VMI, the second one went through two years at VMI
before transferring to West Point and then going onto fame during WWI and
WWII, and the third was indeed also a general officer by the time he retired
after serving in Vietnam. Most of those who served in WWII are doubtless
quite willing to recognize this.

What a crock !! You know Art, your posts look more and more pathetic everyday.
The WW II Gen. Patton's son also served this country and also achieved a rank
very few do. Because he fought in Vietnam and not France and Germany, you some
how believe this to be "less than honorable". Well, I've got news for you old
man, leading men in Vietnam was a damn sight harder than leading men in the
open fields of France and George S. Patton *III* is more qualified to discuss
leadership in Vietnam than his father, even had his father lived to read about
Vietnam in the daily paper.

And another Patton can't be substituted for him. At least not to those

You're right, the views of George S. Patton Jr. in regards to Vietnam would
have been meaningless since (had he lived) he had not served there. Now his son
on the other hand....

How how hell would you know., You never led men anywhere.

Patton turned an army moving East to the North and broke through the Bastogne
salient ending the Battle of the Bulge and bringing the last German thrust to
an end. A few days later the skies over Bastogne cleared and the allied air
forces flew to resupply Bastogne from the air and the 344th was there in
force. Something you know zero about so it your posts that are a pile of
pretenious pathetic crap

Why not increase your logic skills, and then we won't have to ignore you.

You're living in a dream world. History doesn't stop because you have retired
your brain. Patton Jr. would have more respect for modern warfare than you will
ever know. His son (Patton III) was an honorable soldier, and Kerry is/was and
always will be, a conniving politician and a first degree SOB. Kerry has zero
chance of making it out of the liberal northeast, as he lacks the honor necessary to
become something other than a pork-bearing Senator. Unlike Dole, he is
unwilling to go for broke. He wants to be President, but he'll hold-on to being
a pork-Senator in case he loses (and he will lose).

Gotta disagree there. Since he quit posting under his "Autocollimator"
alter ego (but only AFTER I exposed him as the abusive, phony *******
that unfortunately he has become) his postings as "ArtKramr" have
actually improved just a titch.

We all owe Kramer and his generation who fought in the Big One an
eternal debt of gratitude, however, contrary to his twisted moral
calculus, his serving in WW2 doesn't automatically give him carte
blanche to blatently disrespect and dish out abuse to those of us
who "weren't there."

Let me clue you Art, the ten days after the end of the bulge was the
heaviest fighting there. The 101st didn't need saving.

Agreed Mike- and furthermore, (getting back to the topic of the thread), Art
is consistent in applying the "I fought in combat therefore nobody can
quesiton my opinion on ANYTHING" equally to himself and Senator Kerry.

The criticism against Kerry (and Art) is not about what they did in combat .
.. . the criticism is about what they did AFTER serving (perhaps honorably;
perhaps not; irrelevant. Kerry was a sanctimonious, hypocritical,
traitorous son of a bitch AFTER he came home. Like Art, eh deserves no
special proptection for being an ass AFTER performing his service.)

Yes, Art has always used the "How dare you question me I served in combat"
argument to defend his wrong-headed, ignorant, socialist, communist,
traitorous, unconstitutional and irrational rantings since his very first "I
deserve free medicine/health care/rent/big screen tv/etc" posting int his
forum.

True- a lot of good men served, and served well, and died for the freedoms
of the French and British in WWII. However, a lot of greedy, stupid,
bigoted, SOBs did as well. That's what differentiates today's armed forces
from those of yesteryear. Just being there (back then) doesn't buy you a
"free pass" for all of eternity.
