General George Patton: America’s General

 Colonel George Smith Patton

Mortally wounded at the Battle of Opequon Creek (or 3rd Battle of Winchester), leaving a widow and 9-year-old son, Colonel `Patton was the grandfather of Lt. Gen. George S. Patton III, World War II 3rd Army Commander, who "… often credited his grandfather –the brave Colonel of the 22nd Virginia— as the inspiration for his military career."  "........George Sr.'s father had commanded a Confederate regiment during the Civil War and was killed in Winchester, Va.=.......Patton used to pray nightly to a painting of two men he thought were God and Jesus but were really Civil War heroes Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson........"

Outspoken. Brilliant. Arrogant. Spiritual. Vulgar. These are just a handful of the adjectives attached to George Patton, all of which described him accurately at one time or another.

A complicated man, Patton was a Christian (Episcopal), yet he often studied the Koran and the Bhagavad Gita. He prayed to a personal God and turned to the Bible for inspiration, but he also believed in reincarnation, asserting that he had lived former lives.

  1. Patton was a sack of feces who lead troops to attack American veterans trying to get aid from the government they served. He is burning in Hell today.

  2. General Patton is my favorite general of all time. He was
    fighting against communism while the rest like Eisenhower were
    fighting for it. Communism was the real threat to Europe and
    America so we really did fight the wrong enemy. He was very
    outspoken and defiant which got him in trouble but did not
    deserve to be murdered. Hell, he would have been the best
    president, ever.
    Those who fight for America are always in

    danger, always thwarted by the plotting and the treachery

    of the subhumans whom Patton recognized and battled

    to the end of his life. His story is one which enlightens and

    inspires us all, and this is why we must, after forty years,

    remind the American people of the cowards who

    murdered him.
