A Patton quote of the week?
A daily 'Patton' just blows all the other posts off the screen and onto the 'pages of death'.

Steve-- I think that would be most appropriate. Gunny can we request you input a weekly dose of wise military quotes. Patton is not the only sharp knife in the draw.
thanks

Steve & DJ
I will take your suggestion for a weekly post of Patton very seriously, For I am new to the community and I don't want to cause any problems with my my posts. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that I may have caused, and in the future I will limit the Patton post to a weekly thing. Maybe I will include a grouping of quotes from some others of military greatness.
Sincerely
Gunny

gunny,
your posts arent causing a problem, far from it,
i think snipers main concern was that they might have been overshadowing other topics,
by limiting them to weekly posts i think you will increase longevity of it, theres only a certain number out there after all!
you are very welcome in our forum, keep up the good work!
cheers

Joe-- your are absolutely correct. No need for Mark to think he has done anything to require apologizing for. Variety is the spice of life. Find something from Eisenhower or Custer to discuss. Expand our view of the world for us.

And, you won't have to come up with so many quotes. Could the General have been that prolific to sustain a 'quote of the day' for very long?!
Hey, I just heard on the news tonight that Pattons son was flying around in a Huey cutting off ears in 'Nam. No kidding.
Whuts all my homies know 'bout this?
