Taliban and Gen. S. Patton

I agree, a good movie.



<< please point out where pacifism fits in my statement. >>


Please point out where the statement was directed at you. The statement and all the remarks I made above were directed toward Czar, not you. That is, unless you are confused and have some bi-polar disorder that also has you posting as Czar.

More eloquence from the General:

"There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change; it is, 'To use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wounds, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.' "

"You shouldn't underestimate an enemy, but it is just as fatal to overestimate him."

"When this war is over, I am going to remove my medals and stars and leave only my jacket on and they all can kiss my ass."

"The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his."

"God deliver us from our friends, we can handle the enemy."

"As I walk thorugh the valley of death I fear no one, for I am the meanest mother ****** in the valley!"

"We won't just shoot the bastard, but rip out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks."

If you can't read the whole thread and see what I'm responding do.....don't respond. None of those comments were directed at you to begin with. However, since you have a problem understanding my comments to begin with, directing one towards you would evidently be a waste of my time.

Say what you want, but it looks rather clear to me.

i come in to try to explain something which can contribute to the discussion (explaining czar's post, as he probably went to sleep). You reply to my post, including a flame. I point your mistake out, and then you go on and on about how you were replying to someone else, that i haven't read the thread, and that replying to me is a waste of breath.

<< including a flame. >>


A flame???? If I would have flamed you you would have known it, and there would be little question about it. The whole point of my post was to point out another flaw in the logic of a pacifist, which would have been Czar.



<< I point your mistake out, >>


I had no idea you were in my head knowing what I thought at the time. Hell even I didn't know I made this mistake. Since you obviously know me better than I know myself..... <rolleyes>

Actually, the quote is:

"What we have here, is FAILURE to communicate!"

Your point is well made though...

(Damn, that's a good movie)

Not towards you. I'll let you know when I do flame you though.

That is kind of you to be so willing to help him out.

Yes, hes was a brilliant General one in Americas top five.

I seriously doubt Pattons practices will be put in place. The politicians are too worried about getting elected to put american lives on the line. The Mass Media scares them cause they scew the point of view to the left.
