"This individual heroic stuff is pure horse ****. The bilious ******** who write that kind of stuff for the Saturday Evening Post don't know any more about real fighting under fire than they know about *******!" For more of George Patton's thoughts, see http://www.pattonhq.com/speech.html .

In the hall of our barraks when I was with the 82D Airborne, we had a poster. It was a picture of a WWII combat soldier, fully loaded down with gear, but the quote was Patton's. It may not be exactly correct, but the meaning is absolutely clear.

As an American soldier it's not your job to die for your country. It's to get the other poor, dumb bastard to die for his country!
