Michael Dorosh Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 "We need to save seats for the Command Element of 2 Platoon." Spoken by a Warrant Officer in my regiment whilst boarding the bus to Wainwright. Apparently, he constituted the command element of 2 Platoon, since he was very comfortably stretched out across two seats, while the private recruits who had initially tried to sit there where shooed away onto another bus. Another chestnut from a warrant officer I served under, when asked why we salute officers - "To remind them of their responsibilities." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another chestnut from a warrant officer I served under, when asked why we salute officers - "To remind them of their responsibilities." Heheheheh.... this reminded me of a story from my time at Schwabischalle (190'th Med. Helo Co. {CH-47's}, Dolan Barracks). We were giving our young WO section leader a hard time about his ability to lead us, disparaging him as a 'hillbilly' mechanic because he had graduated from A&M with his degree in AG Mech. Engineering... he was taking it pretty much in stride, but after a little bit he jerked his thumb over his shoulder and said in his best West Texas accent "Why them Gawd damn things is nuthin' more then great big threshers..." Even today when I see a big bird fly by I think of that.... ------------------ "This is better than cotton candy! It's made out of real cotton!"

Compassion Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 Does anyone know if all the Patton quotes we see floating around are accurate? The movie changed things to fit itself on more than one occasion and if quoting the movie, I wonder if attributing it to George C. Scott or Francis Coppola might not be more accurate sometimes.

109 Gustav Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 Compassion- here are a few Patton quotes. I'm not looking at what I'm typing, so sorry about any spelling errors. In landing operations, retreat is impossible. To surrender is as ignoble as it is foolish... Above all else remember that we as the attackers have the initiative... We must retain this tremendous advantage by always attacking: rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously and without rest. -General order to the 7th army befor eSicily landings 27 June 1943 Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. -Also before Sicily landings War will be won by Blook and Guts alone. -Remarks to the officers 2nd armored division, Fort bEnning, Georgia, 1940. From this talk came Patton's nickname. In battle, casualties vary directly with the time you are exposed to effective fire. Your own fire reduces teh effectiveness and volume of the enemy's fire, while rapidity of attack shortens the time of exposure. A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood! -War as I knew it, 1947 The greatest weapon against the so-called "battle fatigue" is ridicule. -War AIKI It is sad to remember that, when anyone has fairly mastered the art ofr command, the necessity for that art usually expires- either through the termination of the war or through the advanced age of the commander. War AIKI There are more tired corps and division commanders than there are tired corps and divisions. War AIKI The most vital quality a solkier can possess is self confidence, utter, complete, and bumptious. Letter to cadet George S. Patton III USMA, 6 June 44 No sane man is unafraid in battle, but discipline produces in him a form of vicarious courage. -WAIKI There is only one sort of discipline- perfect discipline. If you do not enforce and maintain discipline, you are potential murders. -Instructions to 3rd army corps and division commnaders, 1944 If I do my full duty, the rest will take care of itself. -Diary entry before the North African landings, 8 nov 42 Fatigue makes cowards of us all. -WAIKI That was about half of the Patton quotes in "Dictionary of Military and Naval Quotations," 1966, compiled by Robert Debs Heinl. I'll type up the other half if anyone wants. ------------------ The Last Defense- Mods, Scenarios, Classic threads, and more! Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

I agree. I have a URL at home that shows a speech he actually gave in the UK, and compares it to the movie version. If I remember I will post it (or email me and I will send it on to you). The movie version was considerably sanitized. I believe the website copies the speech directly from a book I once read whose name has been long forgotten, which discusses the two speeches in detail.

THere area couple sites that have text of the speech (or rememberences of the speech with slight differences). That's exactly what prompted me to write what I did. I read too many "quote" type quotes attributed to him that were clearly not his (even though the gist is the same). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the movie version, but here is the original - I think its better than the film one, even if it is loaded with more obscenities. http://www.1918.com/phil/patton.shtml Actually, what I find most interesting about this speech is his comments about teamwork, and how everyone is valuable, from the frontline soldier to the truck drivers. Thought it fascinating in light of the Army's recent black beret controversy and their (in my eyes, stupid) "Army of One" advertising campaign.

109 Gustav Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 Lucke- I found it in a cardboard box of my dad's abandoned books. It's called "Dictionary of Miliatry and Naval Quotations." Author- Robert Debs Heinl, jr Copywright 1966 by the United States Naval Institute, Annapolis, Maryland ISBN: 0-87021-149-8 Good luck finding a copy, it's a great book, and I've used refrences to it a couple times on this forum. Also, you'll have a lifetime supply of sig files. Here are a few more quotes: "He was a true sailor, every finger a fishhook." -R.H. Dana, Jr. (I know the feeling, couldn't straighten 'em all summer.) "War is an act of violence whose object is to constrain the enemy to accomplish our will." -Clausewitz "{Hitler} had created a spider's web of communications, but he forgot the spider." -Winston Churchill: Their Finest Hour, 1949, on Hitler's failure to provide adaquate reserves for the defense of Europe. "Bringing up forces piecemeal... amounts to throwing drops of water into a sea." -Ferdinand Foch "No plan survives contact with the enemy." -Attributed to Helmuth von Moltke ------------------ The Last Defense- Made any scenarios? Send them here! Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat. But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown.
