Spoken by George C. Scott in the film Patton, portraying his defeat of what he thought were forces under the command of Erwin Rommel; however, the book portrayed in that film is purely fictional — Rommel never finished the book he was writing on tank warfare, but did write a book on his experiences in WW I. It was widely read, regarded a classic of modern military tactics, and published in abbreviated form for study by US army officers.
More quotes by George S. Patton
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
There is no proof nor yet any denial. We were, We are, and we will be.
