Are You a Mind-Controlled CIA Stooge?

. .
@Nilgiri Either General Patton would shoot him, the Major, with his ivory handelled revolver, or slap him to get into senses as happened to the soldier in Italian Campaign ..... but I suspect, he would kill himself.

I think he would only get violent with him if Major thought it was a pearl revolver ;)....otherwise it would just be entertainment for Patton for the most part....unless he was holding up the whole line of troops and tanks by being a lame mule on a bridge :P

God I love that movie.

I didn;t copy whole the text . u should realize that my frnd. that i have to give reference.

Ok now it;s clear - i wrote collected.

You were told last time by me specifically, remember? And like an oaf you challenged me to write ... better than you. I am waiting for you to acknowledge you were warned last time by me....! Or do you again want reference like last time?

He was the only one who rightly recognised that Soviets were a threat and they should move on beyond Berlin till Moscow (or was it MacArthur?; now that was another admirable and gutsy guy ... his solution to Chinese in North Korea and in North Vietnam could have done a yeoman job in hindsight).

Read up on Maj Gen TW Rhees, (3rd Battalion Rajputana Rifles; GOC 19 Infantry Division in Burma Campaign, also force commander during partition. Another crazy guy as GOC 19 Division in Burma Campaign; he is covered by John Masters {Col Jack Masters} in his novel The Road Past Mandalay. a great write up on Chindit operation)

Now

ABANDON THREAD!!!!!

Ive read and watched just about everything there is on the Chindits hehe....including those.

And yes Patton was well ahead of his time (concerning the soviets and many other things)....a little crazy but in a good way.

He had good "mentors" too:


@The Sandman and @Desert Fox would agree hehe

You ever read the biography of Ike by Michael Korda?

It has a good section on how Ike and esp Patton in their young cadet/officer days were huge proponents of tank warfare and were dismayed by the reluctance of the US army to adapt them during peacetime. They were actually good buddies from early on....it was probably that that saved Pattons career after slapgate.

Yeah.

That reminds me @The Sandman Thanks for heads up on Generation War. Enjoyed it a lot.

Back - @Nilgiri @Sarge is also a great fan of maneuver warfare and especially of the desert fox, you can tag him on such issues and he gives a well thought out no-nonsense write up. I always had a tickle and wanted to pull @Desert Fox for his user name and call him Rommel :enjoy:

Yeah.

Told you it's a good mini-series but that ending is really sad :(
Desertfox is not active these days don't know what happened :/

You guys watched generation war? Nice! I think I suggested it to someone too (was it you sandman?).

Yes I have talked to Sarge plenty....did a huge AWACs radar and tank high altitude maneuver analysis with him in some other threads. Very knowledgeable guy that is a sheer pleasure to talk with. Thats why he was posting on my profile page asking about where you went :P

Here i am. Just been busy bro. Allot going on currently ha ha.

PS, the ending you're talking about; the guy died like a soldier for his country.

Yeah, that was actually Patton. MacArthur was the guy who allegedly wanted to nuke China or something for their support of Communist North Korea. What you're referring to are the Patton Papers (i think).

But both American Generals were demonized by the establishment for their anti-Communist views since in those days the American gov.t had many Communist/Soviet agents and sympathizers.
