No, but I bet you are. And drive a Naro, which was used when you got it.

You're pitiful, you don't even know your own History - The author of that quote is former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger, on Fox News. A real Patton's quote is, about General Philippe Leclerc commanding the 2ème Division blindée (2nd Armoured Division): "Leclerc came in very much excited. He said, among other things, that if he were not allowed to advance on Paris, he would resign. I told him in my best French that he was a baby and said I had left him in the most dangerous place on the front. We parted friends"

No, it isn't. It's possible I suppose that Schlesinger quoted Patton and did not attribute the quote, but every - count 'em, every on line attribution I could find (1,820) says that the line is Patton's. I'd be careful about who you call pathetic, in the future. My favorite quote on this subject comes from Gen. H. Norman Schwartzkopf: "Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion."

I'm neither poor, nor little. You, on the other hand, are French.

If google says it it must be true then... that's how a lie told many times becomes a truth. When did he say that sentence? Where? Who was he talking too?

Lance Corporal Harley B. Veugenstein, September 10th, 1944. Omgoodness. I can't find an attribution to back it up my claim. Just as you can't find an attribution for Schlesinger. Don't bother. I did what you should have done. I checked.

If there are 1800 websites attributing it to Patton and none (in case you don't understand - that's the number of French war heroes in the 20th century) citing Schlesinger, I know who I'm betting on.

You won't be able to do it for a simple reason: It's a lie. the french-bashing crowd likes to repeat it again and again, it's still a lie. - When inspecting the 2ème DB, Patton asked to every soldier what was his favorite weapon. At the end of the day he made a speech saying that he was disappointed becayse he didn't get the answers he expected from French soldiers: the best weapon is the bayonnet, because when you use it it means it is planted in the body of your enemy ("La 2ème DB", Erwan Bergot, ISBN 2-7242-0867-6)

Misattributed by former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger on Fox News[^] I know you are intellectually dishonest, hateful and unable to reassess yourself: I have then no doubt about which version you will choose to believe.

There is a Starbucks near the hardware store, I almost run over those little cars as they pull out onto highway from the Starbucks. Damn annoying, if they outlaw pickup trucks and talking on cell phones while driving, they should outlaw girly-men driving little battery powered cars holding a $5 double latte.

I know English is your second language, but "Misattributed" doesn't mean that James Schlesinger said it. It means that he wrongly attributed it to Patton.

You sound just like Ilion. Why is it that people like the two of you need to call everyone who doesn't agree with you, "intellectually dishonest?" I admit that you found a quote I couldn't. You didn't understand it, but as I said, you don't speak the language. I was wrong. :-O

I believe you're a whiney little boy. But in terms of this, I don't know what to believe. It is possible, I suppose, that all 1800 of the attributions to Patton come from Schlesinger; on the other hand, why trust Wikiquote over Wikipedia? Just because you do? Here's a hint for you. The truth is not what you choose to believe. It is what you investigate, test, verify, and then accept - even if you don't like it. And, by the way, you're still French. :laugh:
