More from George S. Patton
- Often credited to Thomas Paine
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived.
Speech at the Copley Plaza Hotel, Boston, Massachusetts (7 June 1945), quoted in Patton: Ordeal and Triumph (1970) by Ladislas Farago
