Patton and the "Modern World"

We could do with a few more Mike Kaminskis in the world.

Patton would have been a conundrum in our present military.

Fine words; but completely empty and sadly anachronistic while the current C-in-C remains in office.

Not so, Frank. There are men and women who are standing up and sounding a clarion call. They are getting elected. Allen West is one man, and there are more. It might not be the case of our current president, but as long as there are brave men and women who will say the hard and stand by their words, there is hope. My beef, and only complaint about this video is the use of the War on Terror. It should never have been called that. PC kills. It is a war with the Mohamedans. With Islam.
We may be secular in our intents and purposes, but they aren't. We should start naming things for what they are.

Agree with all you say except the first two words.
I was indeed confining my criticism to the current C-in-C and the cabal of the left that pulls his strings. George C's words would certainly fall on stony ground there, as recent history shows. I look forward to his departure. Whether that is in two years or six will determine whether we stand or fall against Islam.

Let me emend that last statement, then, Frank!

Very much so, Frank. And there are men and women who are standing up and sounding a clarion call. They are getting elected. Allen West is one man, and there are more. It might not be the case of our current president, but as long as there are brave men and women who will say the hard and stand by their words, there is hope. My beef, and only complaint about this video is the use of the War on Terror. It should never have been called that. PC kills. It is a war with the Mohamedans. With Islam.

I left the liberal mindset and the Democratic Party ages ago because of their hostility towards testosterone.

In my view, one can no longer be a man and also be what passes for a liberal these days.

Notice that Congressman West retired as a Lt. Colonel. That was Eisenhower's and Patton's rank at the start of WWII. That is the highest rank in the military before you have to start ass kissing and playing political lovey-dovey with a bunch of ignorant jackasses so you can get your next promotion. FDR, unlike Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barrack Obama had the brains to ask General Marshall and General Pershing, retirees,to identify the ass kissers and find him the fighters to conduct WWII. Had Clinton, Bush, or Obama done that, Congressman West would have at least 3 stars and be in the middle of winning the fight with other rapidly promoted field and junior grade fighters.

I think I have a man-crush.
